Monkeys Attack Drunk Man in Brazilian Zoo

Joao Leite Dos Santos, a mechanic in Sao Paulo, Brazil, admitted that he had been drinking alcohol when he went to the Sorocaba Zoo on Sunday.

Thinking that it would be fun to join the zoo's colony of spider monkeys, he climbed over a fence and swam across a dividing pool to get closer to the animals, as amused tourists looked on.

Many kept their cameras trained on Mr Dos Santos and laughed as his presence in the water startled the monkeys.
A group of the long-limbed primates gathered at the water's edge, and one in particular kept reaching out for Mr Dos Santos in a bid to grab a hold of him.
Thinking that the monkeys were inviting him to join

Almost immediately, one of the spider monkeys sank its sharp teach into Mr Dos Santos's wrist, while another bit his elbow and shoulder.
The monkeys are fiercely territorial and had been sizing Mr Dos Santos up from the moment he climbed over the fence.

Realising the monkeys were not in a playful mood, and now in excruciating pain, Mr Dos Santos waded back towards the horrified onlookers and was dragged out of the water and over the enclosure fence.

He lay on the ground for several minutes, in a growing pool of his own blood, while zoo workers tried to work out what to do.

He was eventually taken to hospital, where he was treated for severe bites to his right arm and shoulder, and gave sheepish interviews to the local media. It is not known whether he will face criminal charges for his prank.

Well the zoo keepers were away when this happened, but they came imediately and took him outta there. Of course, nobody expected him to jump into the river to the monkeys territory. He only got a few stiches and was taken away by the police.

In brazilian zoos, we have cameras but not security, that dude was tripping on alchool and he said, in an interview, that he jumped on the river because he thought the monkeys were pretty. lol
