Pete the Monkey is a cult figure of the ape world. He first shot to fame when a YouTube video of him washing the dishes became an international web sensation.

Pete lives at a monkey sanctuary in El Chapar, Bolivia. He has a bit of an overbite and is not very popular with the ladies, so he usually just ends up doing their babysitting.

One day, Louis Dumas (a young volunteer at the sanctuary) was washing the dishes in the river. Pete was watching him intently the whole time, and when Louis got up and left the dishes, Pete took over the job!

Everyone who has seen the video is so impressed that Pete can not only wash the dishes like a pro, but also look after baby Pea at the same time!
