"Pet of the Month"

the february/march pet of the month award goes to these naughty friends seen here recently at auckland zoo.

this bad-boy chimp had got up close to his 'friend' by promising to pick off all the fleas. but it wasn't long til this cheeky monkey was giving his 'friend' a good seeing to - and he's not even holding on or watching what he's doing. it takes a seasoned pro to pull off a stunt like this.

when we asked **name withheld** what his game was, he told us that he was actually checking out a slutty old ostrich thinking he might be able to get a bit of feathered action.


we thought this old hag looked a bit rough and we told the monkey we thought he could do better. he told us to check out her legs. we passed this one on to the road crew.

next time we looked, 'cheeky monkey' was back up to his old tricks and was getting into some serious oral action.


when their gorilla mates started winking at us we decided it was time to move on.

on our way out we couldn't help but notice this real-life push-me-pull-u. it's not everyday that you see one of these.

or is it ?
