Whether he’s doing it to get ahead or simply having a bit of a laugh, one monkey at Symbio Wildlife Park on the outskirts of Sydney has developed a rather unusual habit.
Miguel the marmoset is the creature in question. The cheeky monkey has started climbing on one zoo keeper’s head while she finishes her feeding and cleaning duties, and has become the envy of his family in doing so.

“Even though it looks strange, he feels like a comfortable warm beanie on my head – and let’s face it, it is ridiculously cute.”
