Zoo caretaker goes extreme to help his monkey!

Dedication! Brave heart! No fear! Extreme animal lover! I can go on and on to describe this extreme zoo caretaker from Wuhan Zoo. The monkey caretaker's name is Zhang Bangsheng and he is 50-year-old. Amazingly, he literally licked his Francois’ Leaf Monkey’s buttocks for over an hour, until the little monkey pooped out a single peanut! Zhang Bangsheng was satisfied only after his monkey defecate the peanut.

Supposedly, this Francois’ Leaf Monkey (or Francois’ langur) is very rare and is among the China’s most protected animals. The whole episode happened because some zoo visitors carelessly fed peanut to this toothless baby monkey, which swallowed the peanut whole without chewing. So to save the precious monkey’s life, the model worker Zhang Bangsheng licked the baby monkey’s butt for over an hour. I thought this Zhang Bangsheng was crazy for his action but at least he was “logical” enough to use warm water to clean the baby monkey’s butt before licking it.

With his brown nosing skill, I imagine he will go far in the Wuhan Zoo organization!
