With the arrival of the tourist season, when people choose to travel to scenic spots or zoos, they always bring some food to feed the animals. However, animals in some areas will not appreciate it and even fight against and beat tourists. The Year of the Monkeys in Mount Emei Listed every year.

This time it is not the monkeys in Mount Emei, nor the monkeys in Qianling Mountain, but the monkeys in the Fangfangshan National Forest Park in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. In the video picture, you can I saw a female tourist with good intentions feeding some snacks to the monkeys around her. However, she was slapped by a monkey. I don’t know if the female tourist was injured.

The staff of the scenic area also responded: These monkeys are more mature than the monkeys in Mount Emei. She is more docile, but her temper is also quite irritable. Perhaps in the eyes of the monkey, the female tourist did not put down the food, but was fighting for the food with her, and the monkey attacked her, so it is not recommended for tourists to feed her food. At the same time, people are also reminded that if they are attacked and injured by monkeys in the scenic area, they can apply for compensation, including claims for vaccines and treatment. These insurance fees will be included after purchasing the tickets.

1. How monkeys turned into monkeys

Among people and animals, when wild animals encounter humans, they are generally afraid of humans and will automatically avoid them. But These monkeys in Mount Emei and other scenic spots have gradually turned into aggressive monkeys. This is because monkeys have high IQs. They live in human areas all day long and are always in contact with humans. They have become unafraid of people and even know that people dare not mess with them. They make them become ferocious. When people drive away monkeys, they will be bitten by monkeys.

On the other hand, macaques live in tourist areas, attracting many tourists to come for sightseeing. More and more people are feeding them, which makes the monkeys here feel that food is too easy to come by, compared with picking fruits from trees and hunting for food. It's easier for small animals, and the monkey's behavior becomes more and more arrogant.

Tourists’ food, mobile phones, bags, etc. will all be plundered by monkeys. Monkeys also show "robbery behavior". Some monkeys even dare to tear apart weak people such as children and the elderly when they see them. Clothing, scratching, biting and other bad behaviors.

2. What will happen if the natural enemies of monkeys are introduced?

Since wild monkeys are national second-level protected animals, the law prohibits the capture and killing of monkeys. Yes, in the food chain of nature, there is a natural enemy to check and balance, and there are many animals that can prey on monkeys. Medium and large cats, yellow-throated martens, crocodiles, bears, etc. can check and balance monkeys, especially large cats and birds of prey. However, in tourist areas, it is impossible to introduce large carnivorous beasts such as jackals, tigers and leopards. Generally, small and medium-sized carnivores are difficult to have an effect on the monkey group that has already dominated the mountain.

In the wild environment, two animals are most effective in capturing and controlling the number of monkeys. The ape-eating eagle and the leopard are two natural predators. The leopard is good at climbing trees and is very efficient in catching monkeys. The ape-eating eagle is named because it is very ferocious when pecking monkeys. In order to prevent the monkeys from escaping, the ape-eating eagle will It will first peck out the prey's eyes and tear it into pieces for consumption.

It is impossible to place leopards in tourist areas. If ape-eating eagles are introduced, can they eliminate the arrogance of monkeys in Mount Emei? Theoretically, ape-eating eagles can definitely suppress these rebellious monkeys. After all, there have been cases where howler monkeys disturbed residents on Barro Colorado Island. Because howler monkeys are monkeys with loud calls and are large in number, they gather together. When they screamed together, it was very disturbing to the people, so people introduced the American horned eagle. The horned eagle usually feeds on lorises and howler monkeys, and it really worked. The howler monkeys didn't dare to roar anymore, so they ate the horned eagle. Ape eagles can also prey on Tibetan emirates.

But there will be great resistance in implementation. After all, the geographical locations are different. Colorado Island and Scenic spots are different. Large raptors like to be in areas with good forest coverage. At the same time, if there are too many people in the scenic spots, people will be afraid of the threat of raptors, and raptors are also afraid of being disturbed by the number of people. In addition, the ape-eating eagle is only distributed in the tropical rainforest of Mindanao Island in the Philippines. It has been listed as a "critically endangered" species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and has been designated as a national bird by the Philippine government. The number of existing wild individuals is about 600. It is also difficult to introduce.

So in the wild environment, since you cannot actively harm and attack monkeys, when you encounter monkeys, do not look at them curiously, and do not feed them food. After all, they are quite wild, so you should stay away from them quickly to avoid Human-monkey conflict.
