      I really enjoy working with capuchin monkeys – they are very smart and have great personalities.

      However, my favourite species to work with are chimpanzees (they are actually apes and not monkeys). They are all so different and so clever. I also like working with them because they are quite dangerous – they’re really strong and very sneaky – they love throwing things at you (including poo sometimes) and always try to break the puzzles. That may seem like a strange reason to love working with them, but for me the challenge makes me like them more!
