By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: A spider monkey wearing a bulletproof vest was found dead after a shootout between police and cartel in Mexico.
At this time, authorities believe that the monkey belonged to the cartel group.
The animal was killed during the shootout on Tuesday in Texcaltitlan and photos of the monkey went viral immediately after.
State authorities later confirmed that the images were real and that an autopsy would be conducted on the monkey.
The monkey received its own “corrida”, a tradition where a ballad is composed in honor of dead cartel members.
Reports say that animals such as these are kept by drug cartels to signify status.
