Here’s a cute video of spider monkeys being given a special treat — Jell-o with blueberries inside it. Yes, apparently everyone’s grandmother now cooks for the spider monkeys at the Bronx Zoo.
According to the YouTube video description, the hidden blueberries help to stimulate the monkeys’ foraging instinct, which is kind of cool.

I wonder if that’s why my mom never put coins inside my birthday cakes when I asked. All that mumbo-jumbo about metal leaching out, I could have used a “but this will develop my foraging instinct” rejoinder.
