Macaque

Worst than a dozen cats as pests is a monkey. This macaque has been too friendly a neighbour that pre-emptive measure becomes inevitable. Bad sign of nearby habitat destruction. It must have been lost and wandered into human housing areas looking for food.

I suppose there are not much food around as even frightened while being captured in a trap, it managed to find time to finish off half an apple placed in the cage as bait and a banana that was shoved into the cage by my domestic helper while waiting for my next course of action.



Being loaded into my car for release somewhere nearby......


Chosen this spot not too far away from my home. Ruled out releasing it in the forest reserve nearby as there are already groups of monkeys there and being territorial creatures, this lone fella does not stand much of a chance. After discussing with a friend, decided on this spot as there are no known colony here and there are sources of food around......
