In a zoo in Wuhan city, capital of Hubei province, a monkey wore away the skin on its rear after repeatedly performing cycling tricks during the just-ended week-long Lunar New Year holiday, the China Daily said. As the Year of the Monkey dawned on January 22, monkey performances have grown in popularity, and the Wuhan zoo alone has seen 60,000 visitors during the holiday. The report quoted the Chutian Metropolis News. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
