Monkey business: Safari park residents make their own fun

-

0 Keepers are hoping their mischievou­s macaques will turn over a new leaf as a safari park is set to close for winter. The troupe of monkeys rummaged through bags of foliage which had just been raked up at Blair Drummond Safari Park. Park manager Gary Gilmour said: “The groundskee­per was raking up the leaves. As soon as they were putting them in the bag the monkeys were emptying them.” Barbary macaques are the only free-living primates in Europe, besides humans.
