Golgo 13 Monkey Dies
Golgo, the elderly boss monkey of a group of macques on Takasaki Mountain in Oita prefecture has officially been declared dead:
The monkey had been named Golgo because he resembled the badass main character of the Golgo 13 anime/manga series. He was very popular with tourists who visited the mountain.
The park employees who feed the monkeys keep a file on every monkey and conduct a census every September. Nobody had seen Golgo since mid-July, so they are now assuming that he is dead. Golgo was 31-years-old, which is about 100 in monkey years.
