No More Rodeo Monkey in Japan
Bad news, everyone! The monkey and wild boar team that became world-famous last year for their “rodeo” act will no longer be riding together:
The monkey and boar are still friends, but the Fukuchiyama Zoo has decided that the boar is now too large to be allowed to run around freely inside the zoo. It’s safe to let a baby wild boar run around among visitors, but now that the boar has grown up, it could be dangerous.
Here are a couple videos from last year, showing the pair at the height of their popularity:
