I was going to say that is how they always look! We had one, very briefly, in the late 60's. A neighbor couldn't take care of it, so my mom decided we would. As I said, it was brief. I don't really remember what was happened to it, just that we didn't have it any more. My excuse is, I was 8.

Today, I think it is cruel to keep any kind of undomesticated animal as a pet. Even fish in fish tanks. That is just how I feel about it. As much as I love animals, and I would LOVE to cuddle with a Big Cat (that has been domesticated), but getting there is too cruel. I'd much rather see them protected in their natural environments.

The Howler monkey wasn't much fun. It threw its poop at us, and it was LOUD as heck. His name was Ringo.
