Quit Playing With Your Food!
This story worries us. A baboon in a private zoo in Lithuania has taken to playing with its food. What's so bad about that you ask? The food in question is a live chicken. We here at Blue Crab Boulevard demand that this be broken up at once! This is dangerous!
VILNIUS (Reuters) - A lonely baboon in a private Lithuanian zoo has adopted a chicken he saved from certain death last month and the two have formed a fast friendship, the zoo's director said on Friday.
The chicken was intended as food for other animals in the zoo, but escaped and was sheltered by Mitis, a six-year-old Hamadryas Baboon, Edvardas Legeckas, who runs the zoo near the port city Klaipeda in western Lithuania, told Reuters.
Mitis has been fed chicken meat before, but this time he fell in love with his food, Legeckas said.
And it is that last line from the story that is giving us nightmares. Why? Two words: winged monkeys.

Winged monkeys or brachiating chickens.
