Go to Sleep, Little Mercutio



No need for Ambien here. Just a squeeze from a friendly human hand. You cannot beat a cute, baby monkey video for awww factor.

I can't find the size of capuchin monkeys at birth, but the hand coming in gives you the idea that Mercutio is not very big. Capuchins -- famous for being the organ grinder monkey -- grow to be 2-8 pounds and 12-22 inches (the tail is about the same length as the body). I'm seen varying life spans -- once source says 15-20 years; another 30-40.
