Speaking of monkeys...

This one scared the 6&^% out of me. As I was walking to class one day, I saw a monkey sitting on the side of the road, yawning. I thought, "hey, that would make an interesting photo - maybe I should stick around for a bit"...

I guess this guys was really sleepy or maybe bored – he was just sitting around and yawning. I started taking pictures and kind of slowly kept coming closer, hoping he won't mind. Well at first he didn't... but all of a sudden, he looked straight at me, opened his eye wide, compressed himself as if he was preparing to jump on me, opened his mouth and made a threatening sound. I immediately put down my camera and started walking away. My heart was racing for 5 mins after that. Never saw such a crazy scary look in someone/something's eyes in my life! And I bet he was simply saying - "I don't like you hanging around like this, pointing that stuff at me"... Wonder what happens when he gets really mad...

He he he ...you cannot take pictures for free, you should have paid him some bananas he would posed for you very calmly ... he he just kidding. Few days back a monkey entered my mom's house and stole food from her refrigerator as if he already knew our food is stored inside the refrigerator..my mom was absolutely petrified..the monkey took a whole bag vegetables. Now they keep coming back and now my mom keep herself armed with a huge stick all the time. They have the scariest teeth.So Kudos to you for taking that picture...absolutely perfect timing.

ha ha :D ...yes i've seen this video its very funny. Recently one of our student (a girl) was so fascinated by a monkey that she went too close....and the monkey attacked her but she was not hurt ...but she was absolutely petrified and didn't come to class for 2-3 days. So, we should never underestimate the MONKEY ;)
