Benidorm Monkey Business

inferiority complex

Fangs ain't what they used to be in super animal park Terra Natura. Vets there have just performed a tricky root canal operation on the fang of one of the park's squirrel monkeys.

It would have been far easier to whip the troublesome tooth out completely but vets decided that the poor little monkey would be psychologically scarred by an inferiority complex in having only one fang when all the other squirrel monkeys had two.
