One macaque was pursued by a bear, monkey panicked and jumped over the electric fence in the water surrounding the enclosure. After a while the Bears slipped off and the monkey managed to climb onto the shore, but he collapsed Dead, many spectators thought, "
An employee alarm attracted animals away with a little food, so that, still alive, the monkey could not escape. The creature has managed to reach safety on a climbing wall above the ground.
Most bears being attracted to apples, but one of the Bears proved to be more interested in the macaque and followed the creature in the climbing wall. He grabbed the monkey and torn in front of the audience.
