This morning, on the Ginkgo Avenue on the main campus of Beijing University of Technology, a monkey wandered across the road, causing many people to stop and take pictures.
The reporter learned from the Beijing Wildlife Rescue Center that many people have recently found monkey trails near Mentougou, Xicheng, and East Fourth Ring Road in Beijing, but it is still uncertain whether they are the same monkey.
"It's so fresh. I saw a monkey in school." Many photographers said that seeing monkeys in school surprised them.
"This monkey came towards me. I was stunned." Another photographer said that he saw the monkey on the side of the road when he was running around the East Fourth Ring Road at nine o'clock in the morning.
The staff of the Beijing Wildlife Rescue Center told reporters that they have also received many calls from citizens in the past few days, saying that they have seen monkeys near Mentougou, Xicheng District and East Fourth Ring Road.
"From the photo, this is a macaque, which belongs to the national second-level protected animal." The staff said that this monkey was probably raised artificially, because according to relevant documents, there was no wild in Beijing after the 1980s. The monkey is out.
The staff suggested that if citizens encounter monkeys, they should stay away as much as possible, do not feed them, so as not to be scratched by the monkeys, and contact the center for arrest.
"Before, we received a call from a citizen and immediately took a tool to catch it. Yesterday a citizen called and said that it was found near the East Fourth Ring Road, but because there is no remote capture tool, we have not been able to catch it." Whether the monkeys that have appeared multiple times in the district are the same, the staff said it is not yet certain.
