Zoo to cage humans
A Chinese zoo is looking for six volunteers to live in the monkey enclosure for five days.
Xi'an Qinling Wildlife Park, in Xi'an city, wants three men and three women, reports Sanqin City News.
Ren Feixiang, general manager of the zoo, said: "Their lives are going to be exactly the same as the monkeys and they also have to mimic some of the monkeys' actions.
"They have to beg for food from tourists except for a small portion of food brought in by the zoo staff each day."
They will spend their days with the monkeys and sleep at night in two tents inside the enclosure.
Each day, every participant will be allowed to use a telephone for three minutes, providing they follow the rules of the project.
At the end of the five days, one of the volunteers will be declared the winner and will be awarded the title 'Loving animal ambassador' and receive about £780.
