A well-preserved animal skeleton was discovered in a villager's house in northern China.

The mysterious video was filmed in the city of Suihua in Heilongjiang Province on March 11.

According to the filmer named Liu, the villagers found a complete animal skeleton under the roof when they were demolishing his neighbour's house.

They then moved the skeleton onto the iron fence outside the house. They couldn't identify what type of animal it was and found it very intriguing.

Liu said the house was built in 1988 and was made of adobe. It hasn't been inhabited for five or six years.

Liu's neighbour reportedly had never raised any pets such as cats or dogs and there have been no reports of monkeys in the local area.

No government departments or animal organisations had contacted the villagers to inquire about the discovery. The skeleton has been thrown away at the local garbage dump.

The video was provided by local media with permission.

近日，黑龙江绥化望奎县村民刘先生称，他邻居家的老旧房屋中，发现一具完好的动物骨架，他出于好奇拍下了视频。
刘先生介绍，大概四五天前，村里人拆他邻居家一栋老房子时，众人在房顶下的“黑天棚”区域（ 黑天棚就是农村房子上边多的一块地方。农村盖房子会空出来一块三角的。挺黑的。所以说叫做黑天棚）发现一具完好的动物骨架，随后将其转移到了房子外的铁栅栏上。他们都看不出来是什么动物的骨架，觉得好奇。
刘先生称，邻居家的这栋房子建于1988年，是土坯房，有五六年没有住人了。邻居家没有养过猫、狗等家畜，当地也没有出现过猴。目前暂没有政府部门或动物组织联系他了解，而这具骨架已被村民扔到村里的垃圾站。
