His paw could not be seen inside the bottle as it was covered with dirt and blood. <br /> <br />Villager Thanachot Pattanasrikul, 52, said that the monkey had been carrying the dirty bottle for more than a month.<br /> <br />Locals had wanted to help him but they were worried that he would attack them.<br /> <br />He said: ''We had seen Kuad Nom climbing trees and living in the forest with the bottle on his hand for a long time but we were too afraid to approach him because he was not familiar with humans.<br /> <br />''The wound was likely to be infected and I was concerned that he would die.''<br /> <br />Villagers reported the terrible condition of the young monkey to the Chonburi wildlife hospital, where veterinarians began investigating. They visited the scene and took the monkey into care.<br /> <br />A veterinarian said: ''It was best to take him to the hospital and remove the bottle. We will make sure that he is fully recovered before releasing him back to the wild.''
