Monkey with bulletproof vest victim of gunfight criminals in Mexico

The monkey was wearing a camouflage-colored hat and a baby diaper, has been seen in pictures in Mexican media, and was found on the chest of its owner.


Endangered species

Spider monkeys, which live in Mexico and Central America, are on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) list of endangered species. Members of Mexican drug cartels often keep exotic animals.

The gunfight on Friday, in a village in central Mexico, started when police sought to arrest a member of the Michoacana cartel.
