Baboon troop puts Hyundai’s new car to the test
For ten hours the new car was inspected, chewed, pulled, poked and prodded by the mischievous monkeys.
Baboons are notoriously nosy, especially around cars — as anyone who’s ever visited a safari park might be well aware of — so they were ideal for this particular inspection job.

Hyundai donated £1,000 to the Primate society of Great Britain in return for the use of Knowsley’s primates, luckily for the car manufacturer their new model came away looking nearly unscathed.
