Staying safe around wild monkeys

To avoid monkey attacks, stay calm and avoid making eye contact, as it may be seen as a sign of aggression. Keep your distance and avoid showing your teeth or making sudden movements.

Don’t carry shiny items or food, which could attract monkeys. If one approaches you, show your empty hands and back away slowly, never run. If a monkey tries to take something from you, let it have it, as it may lose interest once it has the item. In case of injury, wash the wound and seek medical help immediately.
