[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1810842, member: 24428"] [B][SIZE=3]Would You Lick A Monkey’s Butt to Save Its Life? This Guy Would–and Did[/SIZE][/B] June 6, 2012 By Don Zaidle [url]http://www.fishgame.com/newsblog.php?p=9388[/url] In May, monkey caretaker Zhang Bangshen at the Wuhan Zoo in China noticed that one of the monkeys under his charge, a rare 3-month-old Francois’ langur, also known as a leaf monkey, had indigestion. The problem started when a tourist tossed a peanut to the tiny toothless creature, which swallowed it whole. To get the monkey to defecate, Bangsheng washed its buttocks and then began to lick its rear end. This went on for more than an hour until the monkey expelled the offending peanut. Bangshen reportedly laughed with satisfaction after his strategy worked. [B]Editor’s Note[/B]: Although true that many animal mothers (including white-tailed deer) lick offspring in this manner to stimulate defection, we have no way of confirming if the account in this story is true. However, nothing “animal people” do surprises us anymore. –Don Zaidle, Editor-in-Chief Share on facebookShare on twitterShare on emailShare on printMore Sharing Services --------------------------------- I had some peanuts the other night, and my stomach is upset...can someone help a fella out?
