Just as you ’ re enjoying the view , a cheeky monkey yanks off your windscreen wipers or decides to have a swing on your aerial . Now , a British safari park has become the first to offer visitors protection for their cars – by covering them in bubble wrap . Scroll down for video . Frustration : Monkeys look but they can ’ t touch the tempting yellow vehicle – to the amusement of its passenger .

For £10 , drivers can have their cars completely covered in layers of bubble wrap before driving into the enclosures , leaving even the most inquisitive monkey unable to cause any damage . The wrapping also helps to prevent dents and scratches to the bodywork , although it is not yet guaranteed to be totally rhino-proof . Nevertheless , it is estimated that it will save visitors thousands in repairs each year .
