YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

These guys aren’t monkeying around. Gangs of hungry macaques have overrun Lopburi, Thailand, after a drop in tourism due to coronavirus. While the local attraction, Monkey Temple, is known for its mischief-making population, the roughly 6,000 crab-eating macaques have become violent as two rival groups are fighting over food.

”They’re so used to having tourists feed them and the city provides no space for them to fend for themselves,” said Supakarn Kaewchot, a government veterinarian. “With the tourists gone, they’ve been more aggressive, fighting humans for food to survive.”
