I went to a hiking trail today that has Taiwanese Macau monkeys living on it. I could only make a quarter of the trail due to some issues with my leg but I did get to see a baby Macau and mama.
Also you are explicitly warned about interacting with the monkeys. You use the trail at your own risk. No jumping monkeys this time but one of them did try to pee on me from the canopy.
I’m seeing stories like that but that hasn’t ever been my experience. I also keep a respectable distance and use my zoom to get good pictures. Patients is a virtue and I was also told not to smile at them. They don’t like teeth.
I assume this is Kaosiung. One time I was visiting a campus there that had these monkeys. It was hell and pure entertainment. These monkeys were on parked cars and people couldn’t leave for hours. If they tried to get in their cars the monkeys would attack. And couple came by and the girl had a water bottle so the monkeys attacked her and the boyfriend just bounced and ran off to the hills while his girl was having her hair ripped out.
I saw this all while I was waiting for my bus. When the bus came and people got off, the unfortunate people on the bus didn’t know there were monkeys and many were carrying plastic stuff in their hands. The monkeys started attacking all the pasaangers getting off. Unfortunately we had to get on the bus and it was pure mayham trying to get on the bus during a monkey ambush.

I don’t think those warning signs adequately convey the fact that those fuckers will rip your face off if you look at them funny…
There are more of them. Those two that I posted were the most colorful and interesting.
Are they actually dangerous? E.g. do they “just” rip your hair and hit you, or do they bite and claw your face, causing damages?

They are almost too cute to be taken seriously.
Those are the cutest warning signs I have ever seen.

Those are Macaques. Macau is… A different China thing.
“Walk away calmly, the monkey shall leave.” True words of wisdom.
Nice.
I hope your leg is better.
