This is the distressing moment a crippled monkey trying to walk after it was rescued from a locked cupboard by police officers when they raided a cocaine party in Argentina.
Video shows the animal, named Coco, hobbling around on the floor after being locked inside a dark cupboard without water or fresh air at a property in the capital Buenos Aires.
The monkey, believed to be a black howler and five-years-old, is reportedly suffering from muscular atrophy, which is when muscles waste away - usually due to a lack of physical exercise.
