Cambodia news(Phnom Penh): On 9 December 2021, some of the monkeys living at Wat Phnom, who had become fierce and dangerous because they are no longer afraid of humans, were finally relocated to the Phnom Tamao Zoological Park by professional officers.
Local people had asked the authorities for help because they were increasingly concerned by agressive monkeys entering their homes, stealing food, and attacking children.

The authorities captured more than 20 monkeys that were large and ferocious, and they have relocated them to Phnom Tamao. Mr. Koam Seiha confirmed that the monkeys will be released at Phnom Tamao Zoo to live freely in nature, but before being released to the natural area, the monkeys will be kept and monitored for 14 days.
The team will continue to catch and remove the more dangerous monkeys in the areas, but they will allow many other monkeys who have a gentle character to continue to live in the Wat Phnom area to attract tourists.

my hotel is just around Wat Phnom and wednesday all day long they were working with a trap on the rooftop-pool, the monkeys used to come to drink from the pool and even swim in it, i remember been swimming here 2 years ago, and they where looking at me from the next roof, hahaha, but when i came out, they run away, i am slightly bigger and heavier then they are. But this time i have counted about 30 of them, they captured surely 20 and yesterdday they set the trap up again, but non of them appeared again, and just now they came again to remove the trap. Curious if i go for a swim today i will have spectatures again, hahaha. A little curious how the water would be, they used to swim in it, and drink from it, it looks pretty clean !! ?? Didnt Ebola jump from monkeys to human ??? Hhahahah !! ??

Wow. These monkeys in India are a hit squad.

Two monkeys that allegedly killed hundreds of puppies in the Indian state of Maharastra have been captured.

Villagers in Lavool village, in the Beed district of Maharastra, reported the langur monkeys after they witnessed them engaging in what seemed to be targeted killings of the neighbourhood puppies by snatching them and taking them up to deadly heights.

The villagers claimed the monkeys were carrying out “revenge killings” after dogs had killed an infant monkey.

“In the last two to three months, there have been incidents where the langurs roaming in the area would catch puppies and take them to a place with considerable height to throw them from there. At least 250 dogs have been killed so far,” a villager told the Indian news agency ANI.

The monkeys were reported to have left puppies on roofs and in trees where they would die from lack of food and water, and in other incidents they would be thrown down and killed. The locals said the monkeys had been so thorough that there were no puppies left in Lavool village.

An official from the district office said there was no proof the monkeys’ actions were being driven by revenge.

“This [the killing of an infant monkey by dogs] is said to have enraged the monkeys who in retaliation are killing the puppies of dogs as per local residents. But we do not have any proof to back up this theory. It’s animal behaviour and we cannot ascertain why they are behaving like this,” he said.

The villagers reported the animals to the forest department after the monkeys allegedly began harassing local children.

The local forest department confirmed they had captured the two alleged culprits, who would be released into a nearby forest.

“Two monkeys involved in the killing of dogs have been captured by a Nagpur forest department team in Beed,” forest officer Sachin Kand told local media.

The incident went viral across social media in India, prompting “Monkey vs Dogs gang war” to begin trending.
