Can any monkey do this job?

Any monkey can blog, I’ve heard it said.

But I’d like to prove it.

So here’s an open invitation to monkey caretakers in the Baltimore area. You supply the monkey, I’ll supply the computer, and we’ll see what he or she can churn out.

Until then, we’ll have to settle for monkeys who can paint, like Mr. Bailey, a 12-year-old capuchin monkey at the Little River Zoo in Oklahoma, the subject of this video, produced by LoganLProductions.com, and appearing in the online version of Readers Digest.

About Jill Rosen

Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
