Which monkey is cuter?

Indian people really don't seem to like monkeys. They are like our raccoons in Toronto. They are very cute yet destructive when they get into your stuff. The monkeys we got close to in Hampi were very cute but I wasn't going to feed them. They would hold your hand and wouldn't let go until all your food was gone.  We were warned not to put a bag down because it would be gone. I was happy other people were feeding them so I could get some great shots. Which one do you think is the cutest?



Beautiful Langoor Monkeys

This mom was so  protective of her baby. It made me miss my little monkeys. Langoor monkeys seemed pretty peaceful but when Biri pulled one of their tails she retaliated with a bite to his arm. She could have done a lot more damage I think. Biri said he just wanted to see what she would do. I shook my head and told him to put disinfectant on it.

Rhesus Monkeys  

I was a little afraid of these monkeys. The two monkey families lived in close proximity to each other and we were warned that they did not get along. They did seem to have come to an understanding when it came to lots of tourists with plenty of food to go around. Up in the Monkey Temple it may have been different.
