Grandpa's Exotic pics and a few more things

So I was out to look at a lame camel.  The owner had asked me about vaccinating her "monkeys" for rabies.  I told her I would study the matter and follow up.  So when she called about the lame camel, she wanted me to vaccinate her capuchin monkeys.  These are New World Monkeys, the "organ grinder" monkey that you see in movies.  So after looking at the lame camel, I worked on the monkeys.  They didn't really like the shot, but afterward the one came up to me and stood by my knee, then crawled up on my lap and then my shoulder and circled around my neck and then back into my lap.  The owner took some pics of me holding them which I am showing here.  The one picture looked familiar so I cropped out the monkey and then searched the web for a similar photo which I have also attached.  The titles are "Which one is Which:".  Do you see the similarities?

That's enough pics for now.  I'll have to look for my others.  It's a lot of fun to work on all the animals.  Love Grandpa
