Monkeys at Longleat Safari Park enjoy a new 'toy' car

[Shadeyman]

Rhesus macaque monkeys at Longleat Safari Park have been given their very own car to play with, complete with hub caps, wing mirrors and treats hidden in suitcases.
The Monkey Jungle drive-through at the Wiltshire attraction was closed to the public in 2008 but reopened in February, and for the first time in two years, cars were allowed back in.
"To get them back in training for the new season we decided to give them their very own car," said deputy head warden Ian Turner.

If your car is your "pride & joy" you might not want to visit Longleat Safari Park as they've been practising how to destroy a car ...

I just wouldn't go, I've seen them now why would I want to risk having them wreck my car when the poor Merc has sacrificed itself for my entertainment?

RIP Merc, you were a brave soldier

aslong as you dont stop for to long and dont attract them over to your car you will be alright. Its only the idiots who stop for ages, try and feed etc that get their cars wrecked.
