- Found in South India, the bonnet macaque feeds on fruits, nuts, seeds, flowers, invertebrates, and cereals. Being in proximity of human habitation this monkey sometimes raids gardens or stores for food, often resulting in conflicts with humans.
- This is a rescue story of a fearless male bonnet macaque who was found with a severe bite injuries from a vicious encounter with a domestic animal. He was stabilised and surgery was conducted to address all his injuries. He was strong and survived in spite of multiple injuries and copious blood loss. In a month all his injuries had healed perfectly and he was ready to go back home. Though spirited, we hope he has gained enough experience from his injuries not to confront and fight with any dog or cat even human beings for that matter.
