Rare monkey is a trouble-maker in Southwest China
KUNMING -- A rare wild monkey has recently become a trouble-maker by attacking a villager, pigs and stealing fruit in Southwest China's Yunnan province.
Dai Yongcui, a resident of Galabo Village in Gongshan Dulong and Nu autonomous county, was attacked by an Assam macaque, a Class I protected wild animal in China, on her way home on Thursday. The monkey bit her thighs and ears.
"I did not see clearly what it was, and I thought I was bitten by a dog," Dai said. She later had stitches and rabies vaccination.
On Friday, another villager said he saw the monkey stealing pig fodder and peaches. It also bit five pigs a villager raised.
Police used a tranquilizer to catch the monkey when it came back to the village for food on Saturday.
The wild animal has been sent to a nature reserve for treatment and observation. It is in stable condition.
