The morning show was live on location at Bowmanville Zoo in Bowmanville, Ont. when the incident occurred.

It is still unclear why the zookeeper in question was trying to get the baboon to ride that miniature pony, but he got very upset when the baboon jumped off.

"You cockersucker. Get up, get up," he muttered at the baboon as the host asked when the zoo is open.

"Who wants some more fruit?" the host then asked as the baboon was led to jump across some elevated platforms.
