Poop-throwing monkey ruins little girls' day at the zoo

'Ew, I hate this place.'

A family outing at Tiger World in Rockwell, North Carolina, turned from fun to disgusting when an angry baboon threw its feces on a family.

According to the video description on LiveLeak, the monkey has a particular dislike for the man filming.

As the family approaches, the man appears to know something bad is going to happen and he mutters, "uh oh." After banging on the cage a few times, the monkey picks up some poop and throws it through the bars, mostly hitting the two young girls.

"Ew, I hate this place," says one girl who was hit right in the face.

Apparently it was fresh, because the man starts to gag after just a few seconds.

This isn't the first time a baboon has been caught being aggressive toward guests. A quick YouTube search shows multiple videos of the baboons at Tiger World acting threatening.

Maybe next time the family will think twice before approaching an angry baboon.

UPDATE: Aug. 18, 2016, 4:22 p.m. EDT In an email, Founder of Tiger World Lea Jaunakais explained that the monkey in this video is a pet rescue. Visitors are informed about via multiple signs near the exhibit and by staff of the animal's possible behavior as well as triggers to avoid agitating the money.
