Dishwashing monkey is washing the dishes

Louis Dumas from Paris spent several months in Bolivia a couple of years ago, helping monkeys at a sanctuary in El Chapar get reintroduced into the wild. It was then that he shot this video of a Capuchin monkey named Pete:


Louis says:

"Pete had been observing me washing the pots for a few days before he took over and began completely and perfectly imitating me!

The monkey on his back is a baby female called Pea. She is not his daughter. Pete had an unfortunate overbite which made him a particularly ugly monkey; he had very little success with the ladies and therefore looked after babies a lot."
