    Default Baboon Uprisings in Saudi Arabia to Indonesia & India, Monkeys Are Dangerous

    http://www.travelerstoday.com/articl...ings-saudi.htm

    "Though monkeys often look cute and furry, they can actually be highly dangerous and there are numerous reports of them attacking humans. For example in a South African reserve in June 2012 a man who was studying chimpanzee behavior was dragged for nearly a kilometer under a fence and into the primate enclusre of the primates. He was in critical condition after the assault which included multiple bites and serious wounds.

    A spokesperson from the Phoenix Zoo said to National Geographic that once monkeys reach sexual maturity they can become dangerous."

    Maybe they're just tired of taking crap from humans.

    I guess that money I was saving to buy a "trunk monkey" (TM) can be used for something else.

    You can get yourself a nice python from the everglades for free. Or a couple thousand.

    I AM NOT a reptile person.

    The "Trunk Monkey" would have been cool, particularly the one you could sent on your daughter's dates.
