There are many reasons to visit Mexico for a vacation, from learning about local culture to enjoying the country's lush jungles and tropical beaches. Exotic wildlife is also a welcome bonus, especially when the animals are as friendly as the spider monkey who became obsessed with a traveler at a Mexican resort. The vacationer's wife, named Cheryl, recorded the moment the monkey fell for her husband, and it's safe to say it's a trip they'll never forget.
Just when @itscherylfleming's videos couldn't get any cuter, an appearance by the baby spider monkey was the cherry on top! Move over Taylor and Travis—this spider monkey falling in love with a man on his vacation is the love story of the summer.
It was love at first sight! The spider monkey ran straight into his arms like they've been BFFs for years, and it's safe to say he's not the first human she's befriended. She's way too comfy around people for this to be a coincidence!
"The fact they both had their eyes closed hugging each other" had commenters like @3gdzlla3 laughing out loud, but let's be real: most animal lovers would react the same way! Cheryl's husband is making the most of his once-in-a-lifetime moment, and no one can blame him one bit.

But some people can caution him! @Apocaalexis warned, "As a vet nurse, I say this very lovingly bc I fully 100% get it, but you shouldn't kiss wild animals, especially primates! They're our closest relatives, so their diseases are the most compatible with us, and zoonotic diseases are no joke! This is adorable, but please be very, very careful!"
Keeping this (and one's personal safety) in mind, no one should ever attempt to cuddle up to a wild monkey or any other animal. But you can live vicariously through the bond Cheryl's husband has with this smitten spider monkey.
Baby Spider Monkeys
The man and the monkey bonded so closely that she came back with the sweetest surprise: her baby!
What a tiny little cutie pie! The baby spider monkey is as unbothered as can be as Mom introduces them to an unusual new friend, and if you ask me, that's the ultimate sign of trust.

Viewers can't get enough of this man's Disney Princess moment with the wild monkeys, though the couple hasn't revealed the name of the resort where the magic unfolded. After all, that's probably for the best—wild animals should stay wild!
