Summary:
A inspection by the U.S. Department of Agriculture revealed that the last four inches of an adult olive baboon’s tail were bent at an abnormal angle. As the inspector watched, the baboon began chewing on the end of the tail, and it fell off. He was not the only olive baboon with a tail injury. Additionally, there was an adult capuchin monkey with an injury to his left thumb, and a red lechwe antelope that could not bear weight on his left front leg.
