Amazing Thailand Video: Monkeys flee for their lives!

 

Picture: 77kaoded

 

Extraordinary footage from Lopburi has been shared online.

 

It shows a huge number of monkeys - some with babies on their backs - fleeing in terror from loud bangs behind their usual stomping grounds at the Prang Sam Yot monument in the downtown area. 

 

Traffic came to a halt as locals, both spooked and excited, watched the amazing stampede.

 

 

The monkeys were scared by fireworks at a neighborhood school during a festival to welcome the cool season on Saturday.

That must explain why there were staff in the bars when we were there last week.

I remember once a similar scenario near a local zoo... looked like a mass exodus, I asked a keeper what was going on?

he said a lion had escaped, I asked which direction was it going... he answered.. well they aren't following it !!

Probably the inate programming that dogs also seem to have - loud noises esp crackling / explosions tell them a fire (bushfire) is coming - GTF outa here!

 

Dogs (pets)  should be kept inside, and or on a lead when fireworks are exploding. Fireworks are a  big cause of lost dogs - but not lost street dogs, sadly -

TAT believes this is what it will look like when the tourists come back.????
