BILLY

Billy, known as "Big Bad Bill", arrived here at Jungle Friends with his companion Rosie in the summer of 1995. Billy is the largest and most muscular of the capuchins here. He is also the most aggressive, well, the most misunderstood. His history is unknown; all we know is that someone removed all of his teeth. He may have started out as a Helping Hands Monkey, as all of their teeth are pulled, or he may have just bit the wrong person one too many times.

It is appalling what lengths people will go to in the name of having a "pet" monkey, where will the insult end?! He can still eat most everything the other monkeys eat, he's just a little slower since he has to gum his food to bits. We make sure that we give extra soft treats. Billy is housed with Scooter, Pickles, and Rosie. Scooter is presently the dominant male, but Billy seems to be vying for the top position! Billy is very possessive of his territory and of his girl. . Despite his large size, Billy is faster than a speeding bullet! If an unsuspecting volunteer gets too close to Billy, he will pull out a chunk of hair! Even without teeth, we imagine he could still take a good bite out of you - his jaw muscles are extremely strong! Billy's favorite past-times are intimidating volunteers, decapitating his stuffed animals, and last but certainly not least, grooming his girls and play-wrestling with Scooter. Believe it or not, "Big Bad Bill" can be a big teddy bear.
