Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones proclaimed his love for wildlife in defense of wide receiver Dez Bryant's "new best friend," a monkey named Dallas Bryant.

"I am a monkey fan," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan. Jones went on to discuss how his father was in the animal business for years.

Bryant, who caught the attention of PETA last week, came under question as to how he possessed the illegal pet monkey.

Colin Cowherd talked about the story in the video above on Wednesday's edition of "The Herd" -- and Cowherd simply could not get enough of the already classic Jones quote.
