Meet Elke, the four-day-old hand raised Francois Leaf-Monkey as she poses on the red carpet at the Taronga Zoo in Sydney like a total pro. A native of Northeast Vietnam and Southeast China, this little red-headed monkey's heart-shaped face and calm demeanor tells me she's gonna be a supah-star!

High Rollers was the dice-rolling monkey in an old game called "Duel of the Dice." He wore a tux, had great teeth, and would only play with golden dice— that's how he rolled! But seriously, where are all the monkey contestants on TV game shows nowadays?
Where is this paradise where gibbons, doggies and people are all frolicking together and having fun? I wanna play!
Who needs babysitters when we got monkeys? No joke. A monkey in India took a liking to this family's newborn and started making regular visits to play with the infant.
