The oulike apie called Milo is five years old.
He was raised from birth by owner Adriaan Pieterse, who adopted him from a rescue operation in Vereeniging, and is fully vaccinated.

He says recently when he took his car for a service, the nuuskierige aapie surprised everyone when he grabbed a spanner and mimicked the mechanic.
“He loves doing what I do or what he sees others doing. He can also wash the dishes and enjoys it so much,” says Adriaan.
