Does anybody know any websites with a good tutorial and pictures about how to make stuffed animals or sock monkeys without sewing machines?
Here is a link where you can download a pdf file that has the pattern for the classic red heel sock monkey, as well as a pattern for a sock elephant:

i live in california so anyone who has any info message me please.
I am concerned that you want a "baby" capuchin. Whatever kind of pet you want, you need to want the adult version as well. Babies do not stay babies forever.
Monkeys do not make good pets. There is simply no way to care for them thoroughly or safely in one’s home. One of their most basic needs is inclusion in a proper social group of their own species, so the fact that you want "a" monkey is a red flag. (If you’re now thinking of having several monkeys, forget it, they’ll put you in the hospital in no time.)
Aside from the harm this would do to the monkey and to yourself, think of what it takes to bring one monkey to the USA for the exotic pet trade. The answer is the deaths of about half a dozen other monkeys. Primate social groups are so tightly knit that they will defend the babies to their deaths, so those who collect baby monkeys to be sold as pets must first kill all adult members of the troop. By purchasing a pet monkey, you would be supporting this business and ensuring its continuation.
I am a professional primate keeper at a zoo. One of our gibbons was a victim of this practice. She was kidnapped from the wild as an infant, and her fingers cut off to separate her from her dead mother, to whom she’d been clinging. She then lived as a pet for the first three years of her life, after which her owner had to get rid of her because she had grown too strong and intelligent to keep. She’s lived at my zoo ever since. Having been raised by a human, she was never able to learn how to survive among others of her species, so she must be housed alone. My co-workers and I go to great lengths to provide her with the highest quality of life possible. It is a heartbreaking situation, and it exists because of people who purchase monkeys as pets.
Sorry i just had to ask a stupid question because virtually everyone else on yahoo got to ask one about the LHC and the end of the world.
Oh listen there singing about a black hole sun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiSkyEyBczU

thanks most helpful answer gets 10 points
You dont want a monkey.. they are cute, but terrible pets.
They are aggressive for one thing.. this isnt something you can "train out of them" its part of their social structure and how they communicate. They bite, hit, pinch, slap, etc.. Many primate owners have ended up in the hospital from injuries they recieved from their pets.. even the most affectionate primate will hurt you at some point!
They have filthy behavoirs. They can NOT be potty trained or housebroken.. and you cant expect them to leave a diaper on. Primates will smear and fling food and poop.. they may eat and drink their own wastes, or just go where they please. They also masturbate when they reach sexual maturity.
They can carry nasty diseases, including hepatitis, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis.
they have special needs.. there are special dietary needs, its not about feeding bannanas.. they need a balance of fruits and vegetables, and many primates do also need protein sources as well.. they are not all vegetarians! They also need special vet care.. do you have the access and funds for a zoonotic vet?
They are often illegal in many places, even with an exotic’s licence. To own some species you almost have to be an exhibitor (such as a zoo).. the licencing is not cheap.. the animal itself is not cheap.. smaller primates cost around $5,000-10,000 and up.. larger primates can cost well over $50,000 to obtain.
Also to get a primate you really have to obtain it as a newborn.. meaning that a mother has its newborn baby taken from her!
Primates are also very destructive creatures.. they need constant mental stimulation.
They are a life-time commitment as well. Some primates can live well over 40 years. Will you always be able to properly house and afford the care of this animal for its lifetime? You cannot just get rid of it when it no longer suits you.. primates do not adapt well to new owners, not even with experienced primate owners. Zoos do not take people’s pets either, because they often lack the social skills to integrate them with the other primates. Primates often need to be euthanized when the owners can no longer care for them.
Neither. They are lemurs. They are more closely related to you than they are to a squirrel! Wonderful creatures. Here’s a great page about them:
Yes, it is!!! Reason being they do grow up and get sharp teeth then majority of people that own them just chuck them out or get bored with them as they are very time consuming. Go and visit Monkey World at Wareham in Dorset and Sponsor one of their monkeys instead, you will be helping the Sanctuary and also wont get bored with the monkey.
When monkeys develop language will they
want to talk to us or will they become our servants.
What will they think about. How long will it take
before chimpanzees start talking and developing
their own langauge?
Scientists have taught various apes/monkeys to press buttons to ask for things like food (other animals have learned this button pressing from chickens to dolphins). Then they taught some to use sign language and could actually discuss things like the dreams they had.
I think a monkey would probably start with things like "I want" statements.
I want a better place to live
I want you to get rid of these f******g predators that are always bothering me.
I want better status in this group
I want more/better mates
I want more/better food
The slightly sad and touching thing is that these subjects wanted affection. Especially the ones in captivity that couldn’t associate freely with a large group of their own. There was one case where one in a zoo had a pet kitten and went into a deep depression after it was accidental killed while outside the cage. Others have developed deep attachments to their keepers. Check out this site about a captive gorilla named Koko who learned sign language. http://ask.yahoo.com/20000905.html
The monkey will be going to a loving home. I am located in Ohio and it IS legal to have a pet monkey.
This monkey will be in a loving home. I am located in Ohio and it IS legal to own an exotic pet. This is for Shelby I do know if it is legal and it is ! If you would’ve read the details you would’ve known that.
I live in the country with about two acres of land and a lot of trees.
well the first thing you should know is that primates of any kind cost a lot of money. Marm’s run around 2000+ all the way up to capuchins that run around 8000+. So if your not ready to spend that kind of money you don’t need one, because that is just to buy one that don’t count taking proper care of it.
Also I would figure out what kind of primate you want, and start reading up on that breed so you know how to take care of it. Each breed is very different and there for need different kinds of care.
Also if you work a lot you don’t need a primate unless you can provide it with a mate and even then they STILL have to be with you pretty much all the time. Unless you are just wanting something pretty to keep in a cage to look at.(and if that’s what you want get a bird) Because if you don’t handle them at lot then they will get to where you CANT handle them.
Primates take a lot of work, money and time to keep them healthy and happy. And know that they can live a LONG time, some up to 40+ years. Can you provide for a monkey for the next 40 years, giving it what it needs and putting its needs before your own? If not don’t get one, it wont work out anyway’s and you will end up resaleing it.
Now with all this being said, Having a primate as a pet is a wonderful thing IF and ONLY IF you are willing to put in the time and money and work.
Here are a few sites where you can find monkeys for sale.

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A WEBSITE
Monkeys are very destructive and throw feces when they are angry. It’s not a good pet
I have a school project coming up, and it will earn me an A+ if i make a sock monkey for it. Does anybody know any good websites where there’s a good tutorial (preferably with pictures) of how to make one?
That sounds like a fund school project!
What class?
You could always check in the library or a craft store for a book or insturction booklet. Probably the craft store would have it. If not check the libary.
To make this easier on you I have selected a few sites for you.
But anyways when your done at some accessories to it, (as shown in the second link provided for you).
This site I found for you comes with pictures:

Remember your going to need thread and needle or a sewing machine based on your approach.
Take your time on it and don’t rush. If you want you can use the sock colors you normally see on a sock monkey. Or make it different and use a different color besides the gray. Good luck and have fun! Hope you get that A+!
