      No, don’t be silly. I think this article of the origins on monkeys should be added to Crystal’s and every monkey’s profile on ethnic celebs https://www.livescience.com/8843-asia-origin-proposed-humans-monkeys-apes.html

      I found her mother on the 1990 Central Florida Zoo Census. Her name was Koko.

      Crystal’s maternal grandparents were named Funky and Giggles. Funky was born in Brazil, of Tufted Capuchin descent. Giggles was born in Florida, to Black-striped Capuchin parents, from Brazil.

      Some sites claim that Giggles was Jewish. While I couldn’t disprove those claims, I find it highly unlikely since Capuchin monkeys rarely follow human religions.

      I couldn’t figure out who her father was, but it appears that he was from Bronx Zoo, New York, and moved back some time after Crystal’s birth. I think he went under the name Jimmy, but that might’ve been his Zookeeper. Any additional info would be welcomed.
