They're a nuisance. God help you if you're walking about with a package of edible items - for then you're likely to be attacked aggressively.
No less a person than Kipling was heard complaining about them back in the late 1800s!

Ha! Possums of India! rezinka · 2008-12-02: 02:41

So much prettier than seagulls, though, which are known to attack for food here. megaera · 2008-12-02: 03:11

Cute though. scicaro · 2008-12-02: 04:09

cuter than the bastard possums. Quailia · 2008-12-02: 05:51

If I remember correctly some of those monkeys are big, too! Intimidating. Hi Mom_Curry! Liiisa · 2008-12-02: 06:04

Hanuman forgive me, I hate the buggers with a passion, . SoulCurry · 2008-12-02: 06:09

I know someone whose entire life's goal is to go study the temple minkees in India. Different strokes... Shannamuppet · 2008-12-02: 09:10

funny how we all seem to have different annoying animals. At least these look cute as opposed to our flying rats. DutchCookie · 2008-12-02: 09:59

Shanna, you're joking! Somebody's spending time studying these pesky creatures?? I spent a pleasurable hour taking pot-shots at the monkeys with a friend's air-gun; luckily for them, I'm a really bad shot! Cookie, these creatures are not cute. They can be rabid & thrrefore, dangerous. Sea-gulls don't bite or scratch. SoulCurry · 2008-12-02: 10:41

Seagulls do bite! However, I'm also with you that monkeys are evil! cakemonkey · 2008-12-02: 11:26

Do. not. like. monkeys. Oweena · 2008-12-02: 11:56

Seagulls also shit on you. On purpose. bouds · 2008-12-02: 14:10

I got attacked by monkeys for a bag of eggs in the jungle once. And then again for some pineapple. And then again for some booze. I am glad monkeys don't live in my neighborhood! Seagulls and pigeons do gross me out, but they're pretty harmless. Sure, they can nip, but they generally stay far enough away. snkysally · 2008-12-03: 09:02

That's the way we feel about squirrels here. But I know your monkeys must be worse! That's a cool picture of your Mom. ????? · 2009-11-18: 22:56
