What is wrong with this monkey's ass?

A sad traveling circus monkey discovered pacing in a tiny cage. I've seen monkeys with swollen asses before, but this one seems abnormal and can't be a sign of good health. The poor thing.

Yes, apparently this is a female monkey in heat,. This monkey travels with a small circus throughout France and spends most of its life in this tiny cage.

This could be rectal prolapse. It's apparently common in captive monkeys and monkeys used in experiments and is caused by stress.

I am going to send this onto woodland park zoo and have them take a look to make sure everything is A-OK Nathan.. I am not sure what any of us are looking at? MissTruly could be 100% correct but maybe we should simply have this checked out,ok..

Wow, that doesnt look normal. He has an affection or something....Yes, they inflamed buttocks when aroused but it doesnt look like that. Someone should report them. ~Raven
