A Czech gardener has spoken of his shock to discover who was stealing vegetables from his garden - a Macaque monkey.
Zdenek Lounovi, 70, could barely believe his eyes when he looked down his back lawn and saw the animal munching on his rhubarb and turnips.
"As a gardener I'm used to pests like slugs or even rabbits - but I wasn't prepared for a monkey," said Zdenek, of Tesikov, who took this snap to prove he hadn't dreamt it.
Keepers at nearby Olomouc Zoo admitted the ape was theirs and set up a hidden camera in his enclosure to check how he had been getting out.
"He was pretty sneaky. He'd pulled part of his fence away and covered the hole with a board so he could come and go as he pleased.
'We've sealed it again and hopefully that will be the end of the monkey business," said one keeper.
