I'm almost certain Ross Geller might pass out from jealousy after watching this video…it's everything he and Marcel could never become, yet all they dreamed of. I think most people, at least once in their lives, think what life might look like with a pocket-sized pet monkey…our imagination makes it look quite wonderful…but for some, there is no need to simply imagine!

Here we find the story of a love at first sight moment, a baby monkey tied around the leg of a young woman…and has never let go since… This girl, who found the monkey stranded and alone, decided to take him home for some TLC…and what turned into a few bonding moments during bath and lunch time, eventually transformed into a relationship of love, trust, and, of course, constant cuddles! (Because there could never be too many cuddles…) 

Now, whether you were a fan of Friends or not, you cannot tell me that this little guy isn't the spitting image of baby Marcel. We're just praying for this girl's sake, that he's a calmer version…I guess after all, they are wild animals!

  • I hope the day comes when we are all lucky enough to experience a baby monkey in all its playfulness, intelligence, and cheekiness…But while we patiently wait for that special day to arrive, no one said we couldn’t at least gaze at the most adorable pictures and videos of them in the meantime! And we’re here to help you do so…please enjoy the story of a girl and her marvelous monkey!
