What is the lore behind the Teams Monkey?

On Microsoft Teams there is only one emoji that has a specific dance from what i can tell and its a little monkey. In previous versions to my understanding he was the only motion emoji. He is perfect in everyway.

But that does make me wonder, why a monkey? Does he have a name? Maybe a backstory as to why he was the chosen one? When googling this i get next to no answers and get redirected to every animated show about monkeys ever- and i just want the Teams monkey lore.

Who made the call to have this monkey do a little dance because they need a raise and a pat on the back for making teams a little bit more fun.

    Dear Emma Roe,

    Greetings!

    Thanks for reaching out to this community.

    Based on your description, I understand your query about the lore behind the Teams monkey.

    Upon search on my end, as per your need to learn more about the emojis and their creator/designer, you may kindly refer to the Now in public preview: Fluent Emojis - Microsoft Community Hub and contact information at GitHub - microsoft/fluentui-emoji: A collection of familiar, friendly, and modern emoji from Microsoft.
