Lo Wung, 42, taught the monkeys so they could entertain crowds outside a shopping centre in Nshi, in eastern China's Hubei province. But the money-spinning primates turned the tables on their trainer when he slipped during a show, with one quick-thinking monkey flooring him with a kick to the head.
Yo! The revolution begins here! (in a planet of the apes stylee)
"All the world over, I will back the masses against the classes." - Gladstone (and strangely enough, the Manic Street Preachers).
You get a lot of them over here in Italy. In fact, too many. In the rural areas (especially in the Appenini - the mountain range running down the centre of the peninsular) they become a pest due to over-population, and they are actively hunted. They are called "Cinghiale", and they make the BEST type of meat sauce for pasta.
I have to agree with Square Eyes on this as well. We also have wild bore here in Florida, also considered a pest. It looks that way to me, but I'm not an expert. Don't be puttin' me up on the stand to testify or nuthin'.
The male Uganda kob
When mating season arrives for the male Uganda kob, one lucky male is in for a very tiring time. After each male has set up a mating territory, or lek, all of the females select a single male, and proceed to mate with him.
Eventually the male is too weak to continue (usually due to lack of food and a distinct lack of recovery time) and the females move on to another mate.
