He was well paid in bananas I bet.

Well, look at the poor fella. His limbs are in clear plastic tubes and he can not move them. He has a steel skull cap that is wired to a robotic arm. I guess if he is hungry enough his brain would get that robotic arm to function! However, he does look content and seemingly happy in the video, all the same, I still feel for the little critter.
