We have seen pet monkeys in cartoons such as Abu in Disney's Aladdin, Boots in Dora the Explorer and Beppo in Superman. But in real life, most people keep dogs, cats or birds. Zookeeper Wang Yuping is one of the few people to rear a cheeky primate, which she has named Beibei, and she seems to be having a lot of fun with him.

Wang brought Beibei back to the zoo on Aug 1, but it was a sad day for Beibei. [Photo by Jin Siliu / for China Daily]
