Houston Community News >> Hang Out with Monkey and Win Cash
2/9/2007 Houston- A Chinese zoo
is running a Big Brother style competition with a difference - the contestants
have to live in a monkey enclosure.
Six people will live with the monkeys in the zoo in the northwestern province of
Shaanxi "to experience the lack of freedom the animals have," the China Daily
has reported.
The last person remaining will win 11,888 yuan ($1534) and title of honorary
animal lover, the newspaper said.
"It is the first such activity in China, and any Chinese from 18 to 60 years
old, in good psychological condition with wild animal protection and survival
knowledge may participate," the report said.
