Armed and Dangerous: Monkeys Wielding Knives and Screwdrivers Reported at UK Safari Park

Knowsley Safari Park in Merseyside reopened its doors on 15 June after the government gave the green light for attractions such as zoos and aquariums to begin welcoming visitors again following months of lockdown.

Animal keepers at Knowsley Safari Park believe that some visitors are giving tools such as knives, screwdrivers, and even a chainsaw to baboons in order to increase the damage inflicted on parked cars.

People visiting the park often find windscreen wipers and wing mirrors ripped off.

However, as park employees have started seeing monkeys carrying stuff like knives and screwdrivers, they are wondering whether the primates took them from people’s toolboxes or whether they were given the items on purpose.

The administration, however, thinks that the stories about baboons being armed are nothing but an urban myth.
