Earlier this month the Qinling Wild Animal Zoo in Shaanxi Province announced that a female
monkey from a zoo in Xianyang, a city about 50 kilometers from the
Qinling, had become Dian Dian's sweetheart!?
Dian Dian the monkey is happy nowadays because he met his true
love last Thursday.
Dian Dian, a resident of Qinling Wild Animal Zoo in Shaanxi
Province, failed in a battle for the throne in his monkey community
and was expelled a year ago. He lived alone for a year and every
time zookeepers sent him back to his group he was beaten-up.
Earlier this month it was announced that a female monkey from a
zoo in Xianyang, a city about 50 kilometers from the Qinling zoo,
had become Dian Dian's steady girlfriend.
So with a bit of female company things have improved greatly for
Dian Dian!
A group of monkeys attempt
to attack Dian Dian in his cage.

his bride.
