Answer 6

Monkey's can carry a lot of diseases so you need to be careful and maybe get it checked out at a vets. I think you have to have a license to own a monkey so if you kept it you would need to contact exotic animal people to see where to get one.

Answer 7

Well you should probaly call the police because it might be someone's pet but I'm pretty sure you have to have a liscense keep exotic pets.
