I can't believe they let monkeys live in the same area as Bears. Geez. Didn't they watch "Grizzly Man?"



The point is, they may eat you today, tomorrow, or ten years from now, but they will eat you.

Interesting that the bear killed and dragged it to be shared with 2 other bears. I would have thought that they would be fed regularily enough so that they don't need to kill their own food. The site says that they are still wild animals despite being in the park, and since bears are very opportunistic creatures - the instinct to kill and eat while the game is plentiful (as they do in the wild) - is still very strong. Also monkeys are rather irritating creatures, it could be that this particular one honked off the wrong bear.

Lol! Yep, find one that's just been fed. Also, bears are very smart with long memories. It could be it was a "revenge killing...":)

Do you remember the masturbating bear from Conan O'Brien?

Now that was some good comediatin'.


That's standard entertainment at the zoo. It's the daily floor show.


While visiting Belgrade in December, we went to the zoo 4 times. We saw a bear giving itself a major lickin, if you know what I mean.

They have a monkey building. You know, monkeys always catch you off guard. They had some chimps there, big old chimps. Bored silly. Looking for a new way to masturbate the time away. Looking for a new face. The kids stand there, "Oh, look at the monkey, mom! He's so cute! What's he doing?"

"He's jacking off, honey."


You have to visit a foreign country zoo to really get up close and personal, unlike US zoos, where there are liability issues. We saw boys climbing over a huge bears pen, with an open top. They were sliding all over the place. You didn't know if you wanted one to slip or not, but the bear sure did.

At the Belgrade zoo, they toss an entire rabbit, or cows head to the wolves. Ditto with the crows, the eagles, the lions.........everybody had dead carcasses in their cages.


Some of the animals had regular chicken wire fencing to keep them back. There was no space between the tourists and the animal, just some wire fence. I fed every animal there. My coat was so covered in wild animal spit, I had to have it cleaned as soon as I left the park.



Oh, good times.

Whole carcass feeding is pretty common in a lot of countries, in the US its seen as an 'image problem'. I guess people have forgotten that yogi is a carnivore...

Spooky - monkeys like having sex with anything.


Where I grew up, there was a small town zoo, The monkeys were kept on little islands, surrounded by water. Rumor had it back then that people used to throw cats over there = the monkeys would have their way with them, then ........not sure what happened to the cat but whatever it was, the cat was probably happy for the next phase anyway.

I wonder if anyone watching was traumatized by it. I'm used to zoos where they keep species seperate. Poor little monkey.
