It is said that a female tourist was slapping the glass in Wuxi Zoo, Jiangsu Province, causing a baboon to be furious and hit the glass with its head. The related video triggered a heated discussion among netizens. On May 7, the staff of Wuxi Zoo responded to the Polar News reporter that the baboon's head did not hit the glass. It just thought its territory was violated and responded with a grinning expression.

The online video shows that in the zoo, there is a glass between baboons and tourists, and the glass is pasted with the slogan "Do not knock on the glass, do not feed". However, despite the slogan, a woman repeatedly slapped the glass with her hand, which caused the baboon on the other side of the glass to get angry and move close to the glass. Later, the child next to the woman also came forward to take a picture of the glass. The netizen who uploaded the video wrote in the caption: The scene of going out to play on May Day was furious because tourists knocked on the glass.

The reporter of Jimu News noticed that in the comment area of this video, many netizens left messages to express their views. Some netizens commented that some children imitated and felt that the warning posted was ironic.

Some netizens said that this happened in Wuxi Zoo.

On May 7, the staff of Wuxi Zoo told Polar News that after the investigation of the zoo, the incident happened on May 2. The baboon in the video was a male baboon. It was the most grumpy baboon in the zoo. It was a bit "crazy".

Some netizens questioned why the zoo staff did not go to dissuade tourists. The staff said: "This happened in a relatively short time. The staff was patrolling in other areas at that time. In addition, there was a reminder on the scene that we should resolutely stop the uncivilized behavior of tourists and protect animals and tourists from infringement."

In the video, the baboon appeared close to the glass. Some netizens said that the baboon hit the glass with his head after being furious. The staff member said that the baboon did not hit the glass with its head. It was not so stupid. It would hurt if it hit its head. When the baboon saw a visitor slapping the glass, he thought that his territory had been violated and responded accordingly, and also showed his teeth. At present, this baboon has been examined and has not been injured.

According to the staff, the glass that tourists slap is double-layer tempered glass, which is safe for animals and tourists. Although it will not cause accidents, it still calls for tourists to visit the park in a civilized way.
