It would be cuter if the monkeys were capuchins going "naw, I got this" while using stone tools similar to what our ancestors made:
They figured out how to do that on their own. They have stone knives, but don't realize they have stone knives ... yet.

This is a pair of Binturongs.
What are Binturongs? Are they dangerous? Don't know! Don't care! So adorable!

Do two Binturongs make a Righturong?
Lion Hugs Are Just as Loving as Bear Hugs Apparently.

Lions react instantly as they see woman 7 years after she gave them away to zoo
The big cats come bounding over to hug, paw and lick their long-lost friend in an emotional reunion

"Mum's here!"
Now we know where housecats get that behavior from, haha.
It's very cute...but be very cautious if you're in that situation...they have a lot of weight and power they don't realize how much it can hurt their loved ones.
Yeah, same deal with bears and primates. So many people have been attacked by their pet chimps and horrifically scarred, even after raising them since they were tiny.
Sadly enough, there was a case of some guy who raised a hippo from basically birth for thirty odd years, IIRC. It still dragged him into a river and ate him one day, out of the blue.

Yeah, I've said in other threads there's a big distinction between tame animals and domesticated ones. Tamed animals are no longer afraid and generally friendly towards humans, and almost any animal can be tamed. Domestication is much more complex, it makes an animal safe for humans where its instinctive reactions are generally failsafe towards humans. We've pulled that off in less than 20 species in human history, it's not even theoretically possible for most animals.
Cattle are domesticated, you can walk through a herd of cattle and rarely have a problem. Buffalo are tame, you can be near one and it won't run but if it spooks or reacts badly it can and will kill you. Many people die every year to tamed animals because their apparent friendliness is deceptive and people forget that just because it's not afraid of you doesn't mean you can't trigger it's defensive or territorial instincts.

A sea otter ain't a "little fella". A large adult male can weigh 100lbs and they use stone tools.Don't laugh. That little fella is a Petty Officer First Class.
