00:00 A war between monkeys and dogs has been ongoing for years in India, resulting in the death
00:05 of approximately 10,000 dogs.
00:08 People living in the area says that the conflict began when several dogs killed a baby monkey.
00:17 In response, the monkeys formed a group and began to attack the dogs as a form of revenge.
00:30 The monkeys often steal food from the dogs when they cannot find their own, and they
00:34 playfully disturb the dogs, smacking them run away.
00:49 When the dogs attack, the monkeys climb to high places where the dogs cannot follow.
00:59 The monkeys are also capable of climbing trees to escape danger or to take their catch to
01:05 a safer location.
01:11 Monkeys are capable of stealing from and attacking other animals, not just dogs.
01:16 In one instance, a video captured a monkey stealing a lying cub and holding it hostage,
01:25 while the mother lion searched for her lost cub.
01:27 In another video, monkeys attempted to raid a bird's nest, but a jaguar arrived and took
01:34 one of the baby birds for itself, showing that the conflict between monkeys and other
01:39 animals is ongoing and it is multi-faced.
01:42 Monkeys are highly agile and have strong muscles, making them capable of jumping up to 9 meters
01:48 due to their strong legs.
01:50 The groups are highly organized and they can communicate effectively with one another.
02:01 During their attacks on the dogs, they gather in town squares to showcase their strength.
02:06 Male monkeys can weigh up to 50 kilograms, making it challenging for dogs to fight back.
02:16 One solution to the conflict suggested by villagers is to nurture the animals, as uncontrolled
02:22 reproduction can lead to health issues and the spread of diseases.
02:27 Diseases can be transmitted between monkeys, dogs, and humans, making it important to keep
02:37 the population under control.
02:39 Law enforcement officials have attempted to intervene in the conflict, separating the
02:51 animals and throwing them in jail to prevent them from harming each other or others.
02:56 However, the conflict continues, and the issue may become more problematic if not addressed.
03:03 Monkeys are playful and social animals, and they thrive when they have ample opportunity
03:12 to play and mate.
03:14 With an average lifespan of 20 years, they are capable of reproducing significantly if
03:19 left unchecked.
03:34 However if efforts are made to control their population, this issue could be mitigated.
03:40 In summary, the conflict between monkeys and dogs in India is ongoing and it is not fast.
03:59 With both sides exhibit an aggressive behavior towards each other, the conflict has resulted
04:05 in the death of many dogs, and the issue may become more problematic in the future if not
04:10 addressed.
04:12 Nurturing the animals is one potential solution, but further measures may need to be taken
04:17 to resolve the conflict.
04:19 The monkeys are observing that a bird is feeding its chicks, waiting for the mother bird to
04:26 leave the nest.
04:29 When she does, the monkeys take action and approach the nest, but they are interrupted
04:38 by the arrival of a jaguar.
04:42 The jaguar is aware that the mother bird is away, climbs the tree and finds the baby birds
04:49 to be a delicious snack.
05:10 The jaguar is pleased to see that the monkeys were unable to take the baby bird, and the
05:22 jaguar takes it and jaguar happily eats it.
05:39 It's a sad story for us, but a happy story for the jaguar.
