Hanging out with this baby chimp is more expensive than hiring a hooker—but so worth it

Welcome to Miami, where hiring a prostitute is cheaper than posing for a photo with a monkey.

While local girls charge an average hourly rate of $200 (or so we hear), Limbani, the baby chimp at Zoological Wildlife Foundation, commands one month's rent for 10 minutes with him. You see, wildlife encounters with the adorable primate start at $350 for two minutes and skyrocket from there—$700 for five minutes and $1,200 for 10 minutes. Billed as a unique and rare opportunity, this one-on-one time with Limbani includes a keepsake photo, which is more than you can expect from your hired date. 

What else happens during these special encounters? We're not sure, but after months of following Limbani on Instagram, we can imagine spending two minutes staring longingly into his eyes while he tugs at our clothes and makes funny kissy faces (like most men!). The lucky few who've met Limbani describe the experience as a dream come true... if you can afford it, that is. 

The good news? Now through September 30, ZWF is offering 50 percent off all Limbani encounters! The bad news? Prices exclude tax and gratuity. Make sure you leave some cash on the dresser on your way out.
