Beware of the Monkeys

I never knew how aggressive monkeys could be until visiting Batu Caves, Malaysia.

There were monkeys everywhere.

Literally, everywhere.

Not your friendly zoo monkeys either. These were street-smart temple monkeys. While I’m not typically someone who gets nervous, it was honestly a bit terrifying.

I think mostly because of the rabies.

Everything was mostly okay…

Until I walked out.

All of a sudden, three monkeys started running around me and fighting with each other. I stood there frozen – what do you even do in that situation?

Luckily, they eventually ran away.

Beware of the monkeys.
