Monkey and Human

Hello Everyone!
do you believe in Darwin's theory about the evolution of the Apes to human, Apes, monkey?
this post i want to share one of my trip to Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, Ubud Bali.
not only i noticed how much Monkeys are smart animal but also some movements and behaviours are like human, 

not that i'm Darwin's followers, but to found out the fact that Monkeys are intelligent animals.
but before i start with the story, meet my assistant, i haven't found him a name yet 😛 
Let's Just name him Darwin, Maybe? 
Meet my AssistantMeet my Assistant

Ubud is part of Bali, about 30 - 45 Minutes from the Airport, definitely a lot of places to go to Ubud too, not only this Monkey Forest.

i've been to this forest in 2010, i was pretty happy this place is made better, monkeys are well taken care and fed, although still going through some renovation,

but it seems like this place will continually be made better and better.

Monkeys live free here, they are allowed to have direct interaction with visitors. Visitors were allowed to feed the monkeys, but the rules were changed and visitors could't feed the monkeys for couple reasons, which is safe for the monkeys. but monkeys here are really well feed and this place is very decent for them to live. speaking about direct interaction, not all visitors are brave enough to get too close to the monkeys, cause we know what they can do to us :p. they can also steal from us, but worry not because the monkey keepers here will help us if something bad happened to us.

one of the moment i managed to capture was when this lady had something on her hand, and the monkey just came to her, she closed her fingers and the monkey just bit her.
it was surprising as well terrifying 😄 just don't mess with monkeys :D.

Re: Monkey and Human

Oh wow @Michaelthebuzz thank you very much for tagging me here! Otherwise I would have missed this amazing post. And I've loved it! Really!

The photos you've taken are just beautiful, I love to see the pure interaction and bonding between the following evolved generations of our millions-of-years-ago ancestors. I'm sure it must have been a great experience, very fun indeed! I would like to visit this place some time, and take photos with monkeys 🙂

It's so clear that we belong to similar species; I'm sure that true love between parents and children, curiosity and friendship are some of the aspects that we have in common!

Thanks once again for sharing this experience with us.

Happy guiding!

Re: Monkey and Human

My favorite part of Bali is Ubud @Michaelthebuzz.  There is something so magical, so peaceful about this area.  Your photos take me back.  Thank you. I spent 2 weeks on Bali and a few days here.  The monkeys were pretty much use to the tourists. But I do remember one or two were pretty aggressive, very food motivated if you know what I mean.  

 

When I went there were no "Do not feed" signs so some tourists brought food while others did not. I fell into this category.  I really did not want one to sit on me. But I did enjoy watching them interact with tourists with the food.  I can tell you these monkeys did go through the garbage cans rummaging for food waste. 

 

Thanks @ValeriaA_ for tagging me.  This post and Michael's Bali Connect series was fun to read and reminisce.   @ErmesT you should take your time and read all of Michael's series.  It will give you the inspiration to add Bali on your "Must See Before You Die" Travel Bucket List.

 

Cheers,

Karen
