Monkeys battle for drinking yogurts

By The Nation

 

 

Hundreds of monkeys staged a fight for drinking yogurts near the San Phra Kan Shrine in Lopburi province today (March 11) ,with traffics coming to a halt amid the unruly scene, which some described as terrifying. 

 

The shrine’s caretaker said that there was a donation of drinking yogurts for monkeys before noon and he distributed them at various spots around the site. 

 

On seeing the yogurts, the monkeys broke into two groups and the 'winner take all' battle got underway.

Ah, the latest batch of tourists. I guess that's the only ones still coming.

These people seem determined to live in their own (or monkey) excrement , quite literally 

Was good to see the tradition of a hundred onto one, well done chaps.????

What traffic? There's one pick up in the pic, the driver should have floored it....

There we get it from all those people always using the argument that no animal besides human drink milk (dairy). Seems these monkeys even fight for it. So go milk go yoghurt.

I should have been clearer, drink milk of an other species, and drink it as an adult. Ect Ect.. but I was joking a bit as this is one of those arguments the anti milk brigade often claims. It was more a tongue in cheek post. Notheing really serious as I don't see that argument as serious argument against drinking milk. 

 

I wished I would have been there to see that. So cool!

 

Ive given the little buggers small drinking yoghurt containers for picture purposes. One time I gave a big bottle to an older female and she drenched herself with it and freaked out. I laughed so hard I couldnt photograph it.

Looks like a scene from"Planet of the Apes"

The traffic look like parked vehicles. They're not. They just aren't moving because they are either just watching or afraid to hit one.  I didn't see the drinking yogurt.

 

I am so glad I don't live there.

Yes, but have they been tested?

And I thought it was political.

The fighting is because the sugar content of Thai milk/yoghurt.

Sugar rush... yeahhhhhh 

 

I went to a money island in the south and had bananas with me.. they fought about that too and stole the bag with banana's out of my hands.. i was smart enough not to confront them. 

Yogurt does not create the lactose intolerant response that plain milk does.

Well at least we know where to look for the next Ebola outbreak.

the video made the late night comedy show here in the USA.

And this is just a recipe for disaster.  disease transmission, etc.  Too many monkees in too close contact with people
