Etiquette from the monkey point of view

The monkeys will gladly steal your belongings and are not going to be responsible for what happens if you stare them in the eyes. Furthermore they hope not to become dependent on the handouts, so don’t feed them!

Monkey-Deer Symbiosis

The monkey picks bugs off the deer and eats them.
