Meet Guru, the chimpanzee that lost the hair from all over his body. Looks like a human!

Other males may worry that losing their hair will make them less appealing.

But for Guru the chimpanzee, his baldness has turned him into a star attraction.

The 20-year-old, who is suffering from alopecia, has lost the hair from all over his body.

But the mischievous chimp still brings hundreds of visitors flocking to Mysore Zoo in southern India – despite greeting them by throwing stones.

Dr Suresh Kumar, a zoo vet, said: ‘Everybody wants to see his biceps and triceps.

‘He beats his chest, and claps a lot when children come near his enclosure.’

Guru had lost his hair before being rescued from a circus and moved to Vandalur Zoo in Chennai.

He lived there for almost a decade, but was transferred to Mysore Zoo seven years ago so that specialist vets could monitor his condition.

Dr Kumar said: ‘He came to us with alopecia, so we don’t know how he got it originally.

‘However, with chimpanzees being so much like humans, we think it could have been caused by factors in Guru’s life such a stress or trauma, which can induce alopecia in humans. We have tried a number of medicines on him, but to date there have been no positive results, and as a last resort we are planning to consult a human skin doctor.’

Fortunately, Guru’s baldness doesn’t seem to have affected his popularity among his own species. To stop him getting lonely, zoo officials have allowed a female chimpanzee, Manila, to move into his enclosure.

But although Guru plays cheerfully with her, he hasn’t taken things any further – to the surprise of his handlers.

Dr Kumar said: ‘He got separated from his parents at a tender age and most probably this could be a reason that he hasn’t learned to mate.’

The world biggest PIRANHA..5ft long!!

Brave angler Jeremy Wade poses for the ultimate holiday snap — after catching one of the world's most dangerous fish.

The Brit became one of only a handful of people who have ever landed the goliath tigerfish when he reeled in the monster from the depths of Africa's River Congo.

The species is a bigger and deadlier cousin of the piranha and has 32 teeth similar in size to those of a great white shark.

It has been known to attack crocodiles — and could tear off a human limb.

The specimen caught by Jeremy — who patiently spent eight days by the riverbank — weighed more than 100lbs and was FIVE FEET long.

He carefully held the fearsome fish at arms' length for the camera before putting it back into the water.

Jeremy, from Bath, Somerset, said: "This fish is no tench.

"It is, for all intents and purposes, a giant piranha. It is quite a beast.

"The teeth on it are incredibly sharp and are about the same length as a great white shark.

"It also has an extremely powerful bite and has been known to consume prey the same size as itself, attack people and take pieces out of crocodiles.

"It is thought that these fish attack in a reflex response to a sudden movement or splash.

"It is very rare to catch one, especially by an outsider because they are found in such a remote and difficult location to get to. There are no guides or lodges on that part of the Congo River."

Jeremy used a sizable catfish as bait for the tigerfish - Latin name Hydrocynus goliath - and a 200lb rod and line.

He added: "It is a very dangerous fish to handle. If you aren't careful it could easily take your finger off or worse."

Pedigree dog has 'extreme' facelift that allows her to open her eyes and see

Barely able to see through squinted eyes that would turn Clint Eastwood green with envy, this dog's chiselled expression hides a serious condition.

Over-breeding has left Molly the pedigree Shar Pei with a painful disease which left her unable to see and, if left untreated, could have caused permanent blindness.

That was, until she underwent an 'extreme' facelift.

Molly, 12 months, was unable to see since birth because she suffered from a entropion, a congenital disease which causes folds of skin to rub against the eye.

Her owner Louise Walsh, from Romford in Essex, said: 'When I first got her all she did was sleep because she was in so much pain.

'Now she is so happy all the time - playing, exploring and she loves chasing crows.

'She's such a wonderful dog. She loves people and is very affectionate.'

Molly's life was turned around by vet Richard Marks, from the Goddard Veterinary Group in Gidea Park, Essex, who carried out vital surgery to let her see again.

He said: 'What I essentially did was give her an extreme facelift. I removed a large piece of skin and stitched the remaining skin to the back of her head.

'It may sound extreme but if left much longer she would have been totally blinded.'

The vet blasted the over-breeding which led to Molly suffering from one of the worst cases of the entropion he had ever seen.

Mr Marks said: 'Molly is a result of very bad breeding between dogs that are essentially diseased.

'Molly was bred to satisfy a certain criteria on what they think a dog should look like rather than its health.'

Ms Walsh bought Molly for £500 just last month, but has already shelled out £720 in vet bills.

She now plans to sue the owners, from Wales, who sold her the pet, claiming they were not honest about her state of health.

She said: 'I'm very angry. It's not about the money, it's the fact they were dishonest.

'How could they let Molly go through a year of pain without doing anything?'

A row erupted two years ago about the over-breeding of pedigree dogs following a BBC documentary that exposed health problems among some of the most extreme cases.
