| 説明 | I am now in the Sacred Monkey Forest in Ubud, Bali. Having walked right through the park I am now at the fag end of it, where the three temples are located. Outside the shrines is a feeding platform where many of the denizens of the forest have converged to part take in food which has just been put out for them. This particular fellow was probably the alpha male- the other monkeys were giving him a wide berth. Of course, the monkeys themselves live in matriarchal groups. The crab-eating macaque can become a synanthrope, living off human resources. They are known to feed in cultivated fields on young dry rice, cassava leaves, rubber fruit, taro plants, coconuts, mangoes, and other crops, often causing significant losses to local farmers. In villages, towns, and cities, they frequently take food from garbage cans and refuse piles. The species can become bold in in these conditions, having lost all fear of man and associating humans with food. This sometimes leads to unpleasant encounters between man and beast when the macaques snatch food from people, both passively if the human yields, or worse, aggressively if the human resists or puts up a fight. This has led to the park putting up several warning notices inside it's grounds about not feeding monkeys and how to behave around them. Luckily, I had no problems. I was more worried about my brand new and rather expensive Nikon getting vandalized but the simians did not bother me or pay any attention to me at all. (Bali, Indonesia, May 2018) |
