AR-News: (AU) Hitchhike monkey hangs out for a ride

[Animalara2003 at aol.com]

An endangered monkey has clung to the underside of a car on a 70-kilometre 
journey in India, surviving with little more than sooty limbs.
An animal rights group says the three-year-old monkey latched onto the 
chassis after the driver had braked to avoid running it over near Shetgere village 
west of Bangalore.
The founding trustee of People for Animals, Alpana Bhartia, says the monkey 
is part of the slender loris family and is found in southern India and Sri 
Lanka.
"The driver assumed that the animal had been run over and checked underneath 
the car but found nothing," Bhartia said.
