Best headline ever: “Zookeeper reportedly licks baby monkey’s anus for over an hour”

Apparently, said zookeeper, at a zoo in China, saved the life of a rare Francois Leaf monkey by licking the primate’s anus for an hour until the monkey was able to pass a peanut that it had accidentally swallowed whole and was obstructing its intestine. I’m sure there are far better ways of getting out that peanut. And did the ass licking actually help, or did the peanut just come out on its own?

50-year-old Zhang Bangsheng used warm water to clean a small Francois’ Leaf Monkey’s buttocks, then began using his mouth to lick it, not stopping for over an hour, until the little monkey defecated a single peanut. Only after the peanut was defecated did Zhang Bangsheng laugh with satisfaction.

As it is understood, this small Francois’ langur is only 3 months old, and is the first Francois’ Leaf Monkey to be born in nearly 10 years at this animal park. The Francois’ langur is a rare primate from Guangxi and Guizhou and is amongst the nation’s most protected animals. Because it is so precious, the zoo gave it to model worker and high-level expert Zhang Bangsheng to care for and raise.
