Monkey Tears Off Baby's Testicles, Eats One As Mother Changes His Nappy At Chinese Zoo

The above picture shows an infant recovering in hospital with his mother after he had his testicle ripped off by a monkey.

A mother watched in horror as a monkey tore off her eight-month-old baby's testicles at a Chinese zoo before running off and eating one.

The shocking incident, is understood to have taken place at the Guiyang Qianling Wildlife Park in Guìyáng, the capital of Guizhou province in Southwest China.

The mother was changing the infant's dirty nappy when the animal attacked, ripping off the testicle before dropping it onto the ground.

An old man reportedly picked it up but a monkey then snatched it out of his hand before scampering away and eating it before it could be caught.

The baby is currently recovering in a hospital. His injuries are however, not life threatening.

Monkey numbers at the open zoo have reportedly exploded from around 70 to 500 in recent years with the situation now apparently out of control.
