Hunger or bad habit? This fun and sociable monkey asks for food from all visitors who come near him.
As they are our closest relatives, monkeys, apes, they are important for the health of the ecosystems that surround them. Through seed dispersal and other interactions with their environment, primates help support life for a wide range of plants and animals in the world's tropical forests. Healthy forests provide vital resources for human populations and can absorb and store the carbon dioxide that causes climate change.
When we visit a park and we see these beautiful animals, we always tend to feed them without knowing if they are adequate food for them, so relationships with wildlife must be neutral; in other words, that visitors to national parks or protected areas only enjoy observing wildlife. But in real life this is not the case. People approach the animals, touch them and even feed them, like this monkey that is found in Chorros de Milla Park, located in Mérida, Venezuela, looks like a child on the street asking who he approaches, if they are fruits , drinks whatever, it's fine for him.

This monkey looks a bit sad, maybe he has been confined for a long time. If people have already accustomed him to give him food, I imagine that when people pass near the cage, he will stretch out his hand to see what food is given to him. The common thing is that we surely find ourselves eating food that comes in bags and those foods are not suitable for animals.
Good morning @josecarrerag, thank you very much for your comment, if it seems that it is what you can see and it is very true about the food that a person gives to any animal in the jungle, it is very different from what they eat in their natural habitat like fruits and seeds without any contaminants.
