A 17-year-old monkey, called Bobby was hired by Town Hall staff in Radków, Poland to promote a local beauty spot in a district called Table Mountains, also known as Monkey Rock. Bobby is being paid $120 USD a month.

Bobby is apparently taken around the region’s capital, Wroclaw, with a sign on his back advertising the Table Mountains range and his job title of ‘Bobby, tourism promotions inspector’, in an attempt to inspire people to visit the area.

There’s even talk of a promotion on the cards. “If Bobby achieves good results, he may be promoted to a post as a specialist. Then he’ll be able to count on a pay rise,” said his council boss, Marek Niewiadomy.
