Rare wild monkey goes ape in village

A rare wild monkey has been causing trouble recently for villagers in Yunnan province by attacking residents and pigs and stealing fruit. Dai Yongcui, a resident of Galabo village in Gongshan, was bitten on her thighs and ears by an Assam macaque, a Class 1 protected wild animal in China, on her way home on Thursday. The next day, another villager said he saw the monkey stealing pig fodder and peaches. Police used a tranquilizer gun to catch the monkey on Saturday.
