He gets some food.
He's a tough guy and a troublemaker, when we first found him he was stealing a bag of food/flowers from a tourist. ( comments)

He's a bit of an aggressive monkey,
and he let's me know he's not interested in getting to know me better. [Video, 1.9M] ( comments)

..and then he shows
a very quick snarl to Arielle [Video, 1.8M] ( comments)
