Kissing Butt

It all began when a baby leaf monkey in a Chinese zoo ate a peanut thrown by a zoo visitor, and do to this monkey's lack of grinding teeth to break the peanut down, it got lodged in his intestine, threatening the life of the monkey. So of course, there was nothing left to do but have the zoo keeper lick the monkey's butt for an hour until it pooped the peanut out. Zookeeper Zhang Bangshen, 50, had no option but to resort to this form of treatment because the monkey was too small for medication to help it defecate the nut. And apparently too small for more traditional method of a warm cloth. Or perhaps a small sponge or damp q-tip? But all's well, Bangshen reportedly "laughed with satisfaction" after the monkey passed the peanut.
