Zhang Bangsheng became worried when he saw that the Francois' leaf monkey was unwell - and its life possibly in danger - following its first public outing at Wuhan Zoo.
Soon after, the 50-year-old spotted peanut shells on the ground and took action.
Bangsheng saved the animal's life by washing its behind with warm water, then licking it for an hour in order to get it to pass the peanut.
Orange News reports that Bangsheng "laughed with satisfaction" when the monkey finally excreted the nut.
He said that the tiny animal is too small to take medication in the normal way.
Francois' leaf monkeys are one of the rarest types of monkey, with only around 1,400 to 1,650 left in China. This one is the first to be born in China's Wuhan Zoo in almost a decade.

What they don't mention on in this article is that the monkey - now known as claimant A- is suing the zoo due to sexual harrassment! Claiment A says that he has suffered with PTSD, with flashbacks and feelings of disgust. he clains that the peanut in question was harmless and that the defendant has priors - specifically trying to coax a turnip from a rhino's **** the week before!
