(Photo by Dan Callister by way of Daily Mail)Apparently this collie riding monkey has become very successful recently with a following on Facebook (though I can't find him), a regular at the Rodeo in Big Spring Texas (this year he was the star), as well as a starring role in an ad for a Taco Restaurant making him and Internet sensation on the YouTube!
Some critics wonder if we would be happy back in his native Rain Forests of Central or South America, but his owner Tommy Lucia says he is happy and enjoys being a star. (Tommy rescued him when he was a baby from a cage in Florida almost 21 years ago).
After most shows he loves to have a big dinner with his favorite foods being apples, pears, bananas (of course) - but especially strawberries!
