Macaques/ love to monkey around.

Here in southern India, when a peddler leaves a fruit cart unattended for just a single moment, these Bonnet Macaques pounce on it like hungry ants at a company picnic. Those of you with very young children will recognize this kind of eating behavior.

So many peanuts, so little time.

Then, bananas, well, naturally, oranges, basically whatever isn't nailed down. And if they can pry it out, it's not nailed down.

What a macaque doesn't eat on the spot, it puts in doggy bags called its cheek pouches which it uses while foraging for more food.

Now, it's on to their next meal.

The bold macaques with their distinctively long tails aren't afraid to raid homes in search of food. And just in all around, good time.

Now, grapes are always good, full of fruit sugar, for the energy they will need to wreak havoc like a bunch of seven-year-olds at an out-of-control birthday party.

Just when you think it can't get any worse, it gets worse.

They've been so destructive that the forest service relocates them from the city to a faraway forest.

But these very social monkeys seem to take it in stride and just turn this swimming pool into an impromptu water park.

They are avid swimmers, and avid swingers. And all these swimming and swinging sure works out, hum, what else, a gigantic appetite.
