Wow, do monkeys cry? Well all I can tell you is about Mario, he is a capuachin monkey. He got very depressed after his mate died. He seem to whimper about her being gone. It has took him a while, but he seems better now, but demands a lot more of our attention.
It seems as if I did see tears in his eyes, when she died. We were all a mess of course. Tried to comfort Mario, he stayed in his house a lot for the first couple of weeks. He was the saddest little fellow. But, God that is a hard question. If you could just meet Mario face to face and look into those so human eyes, and hold his little hands. I think about how he grieved for Bugger, when she died, and it just about makes me cry. Thats when we gave him his freedom. He is back to being happy, coming back in the house. Stealing us blind of food in the cabinets, drinks, candy, and COOKIES!
I would love to find him another mate, but those guys are so very expensive! It is unreal, the price they ask for them. The price has tripled to what we paid for him and Bugger.
