Since the beginning of this year, many stray monkeys in Nanjing have appeared in residential communities and schools, which has attracted attention. On June 21, a stray monkey in Laishui District, Nanjing was arrested in the community. This is the second monkey captured by the city this year. It will be sent to Hongshan Forest Zoo. Essence

On June 22, Nanjing Huanzi Animal Rescue staff told Jimu Journalists that on the 21st, they received the rescue information of relevant departments and learned that the monkey was in the water and went to catch the monkey. On the morning of the same day, the monkey was sitting outside the window on the 4th floor of the residential building of the Royal Jingshi Community in Lishui District. When they arrived in the afternoon, it went to the third floor to rest. "It is an adult monkey. Considering that it might hurt people, we caught it after being anesthetized."

The staff member said that the anesthesia needle they used will only make monkeys anesthes anesthesia for a while and will not cause damage to it. This is the second time this year in Nanjing's arrest of monkeys. Compared with the stray monkeys on the woods on April 29, this time it was a lot easier to catch monkeys in the residential building. After the arrest, they sent the monkey to the Hongshan Forest Zoo in Nanjing.

On June 22, the staff of the Hongshan Forest Zoo in Nanjing told Jimu Journalists that the day before, I did have received the news that the monkey was required to rescue the monkey. This is an adult macaque. At present, it has been awakened and the health is good. Nanjing is not originally originally produced by wild macaques, so it is not easy to release it. In the later stage, it will be considered to return to the monkey group of the zoo.

Since the beginning of this year, monkeys have appeared many times in Nanjing, and monkeys have rushed into residents' homes to steal oranges and milk. Regarding the source of this macaques arrested on the 21st, Nanjing Huanzi Animal Rescue staff introduced that it was said that someone was released in a local scenic spot in Nanjing, and then monkeys wandered to the urban area. The staff of the Hongshan Forest Zoo in Nanjing said that Nanjing is not the origin of macaques, and it is unclear.
