      I didn’t start working with monkeys until I was about 25. However, I have always been around animals and worked with them. I used to ride when I was a kid. As a teenager I also helped local farmers with lambing, and milking cows. And I spent two days as an elephant keeper (there is a lot of huge poo to clear up!). So, I had lots of experience with other animals when I applied to work with monkeys.
