Last year I went to Pairi Daiza with my family.
In the zoo you have a part with small monkeys called ring-tailed lemurs.
The monkeys walk freely around you and this makes it a perfect occasion to take beautiful pictures.
When I was posing for a picture with my little brother one of the monkeys must have felt threatened.
The monkey jumped to my arm and bit me, I was suprised and couldn't believe this actually happened.

Everyone around me was laughing as it seemed funny at first but when my arm started bleeding they felt more concerned. I tried to stay calm as I didn't want my brother to panick even more as he was already shocked by the situation.

As a result I had no pictures with the monkeys just a bite wound as a reminder and had to see a doctor the next day. Luckily it healed fine and I can tell it as a story more funnier than it was back then.
