Bear eats monkey

BEARS killed and ate a monkey in a Dutch zoo in front of horrified visitors.

Several Sloth bears chased the Barbary macaque into an electric fence, where it was stunned. It recovered and fled onto a wooden structure, where one bear pursued and mauled it to death.

Witness Marco Berelds posted a detailed report on the incident, including photos, on a Dutch Web site. He said one Sloth bear tried unsuccessfully to shake the monkey loose after it took refuge on the structure, built of crossing horizontal and vertical poles.

Ignoring attempts by keepers to distract it, the bear climbed onto a horizontal pole, and, standing stretched on two legs, “used its sharp canines to pull the macaque, which was shrieking and resisting, from its perch.”

The bear then brought the animal to a concrete den, where three bears ate it.

That Monkey probably wishes it was in a nice, comfy lab being tested with shampoos and detergents.

"He is a stupid imbecile! I will tell him myself. Where is he?"
"He is moving the Endangered Rodent exhibit."
"Ehhh? Where is he moving it?"
"He said he was putting them in the Reptile House ..."

Just a few more hours,
and I'll be right home to you.

Oh, B.E.T.H. I hear you calling... oh B.E.T.H. what can I do?

"You worry me. LOL"

Comforting the disturbed... Disturbing the comfortable.

Never bring a monkey to a bear fight.

Totally agree with you on the starlings.

It should be legal to shoot and kill all of these ugly pain in the butts.

Is this an obscure Dick Cheney reference to an undisclosed location?
