More unfinished monkey business

The builders turned up at Knowsley Safari Park to set about building a new baboon house.

Trouble is, the baboons didn't want to move out their old house.

Safari Park general manager David Ross admitted the baboons are not happy about losing their `home, sweet home'.

He said: "The problem with animals is that you can't consult with them and tell them that they'll have new deluxe accommodation within a few weeks.

"We just had to go in and demolish the building to make way for the new structure, although the work was specifically scheduled for high summer when baboons prefer to sleep outside in the trees.

"As soon as they saw what was happening the troop got very agitated and I could hear them barking and chattering all through the night. However, we hope they will settle down and approve of their new `des res', complete with electricity and water, when it is completed in the near future."
