"It took several months of rudimentary repetition to teach the monkeys that these tokens were valuable as a means of exchange for a treat and would be similarly valuable the next day. Having gained that understanding, a capuchin would then be presented with 12 tokens on a tray and have to decide how many to surrender for, say, Jell-O cubes versus grapes. This first step allowed each capuchin to reveal its preferences and to grasp the concept of budgeting. "

She was at a petting zoo with her husband and was feeding a baby spider monkey through a baby bottle. When the bottle emptied, the monkey slipped inside her bra and latched on to her nipple in an attempt to continue feeding. Several attempts to remove the monkey from her breasts were not successful so Ali's husband decided to remove her bra to help dislodge the monkey. As he undid the bra the monkey panicked, slid down, and bit down hard on her nipple, biting it off. A trip to the emergency room ensued with the monkey who still had the nipple in his mouth. The nipple was removed from the roof of the monkey's mouth and was reattached to Ali's breast. "
