Now they're going to have to find a new monkey dummy, they can't exactly send that one back to the colony.

Of course they can't, because after a suitable period of mourning the troup attempted to eat the corpse. Hence the evolution of the phrase "waste not want not".

That was mean.

If they really wanted to disguise the camera, why would they not camouflage it to look like a tree branch or something?
Obviously they're going to notice the monkey!!
