Mystery over monkey sent to space

By: AAP | International News | Sunday February 3 2013 11:46

 

Doubts have emerged about Iran's claim this week to have sent a monkey into space.

Official images of the monkey before and after its journey have been compared, and some experts say they're not the same animal.

The pre-blast-off monkey apparently had light grey fur and a red mole over its right eye.

After the trip though, its fur was darker and the mole had disappeared.
