Unexpected guest....but he didnt like anyone taking his photos

That is a neighboring abandoned place. It was a old house and many of its sister building are destroyed and it is also going to be destroyed in probably December this year to build a new house there. It was a very cool house of old times. Monkeys definitely are very secretive

@CuriousGab it's sad that building are being made all over taking away the beauty of the place.

@CuriousGab our ancestors afterall...

We don't have banana trees here ...but it ate some leaves of those trees he was hoping around onto. We also have some other visitors as we live away from main area of village which is full of vehicles running around with horns and concrete jungles Rabbits,deer,wolves are common to visit our farms

@FaruMesh But sadly more than 20 houses have been built in our surrounding in last year. The greenery is decreasing. Previously ours was only house here...now we are getting surrounded by all sides with houses

@CuriousGab Rabbits,deer,wolves are common to visit our farms Your home and surroundings should be announced as a chotta jungle, (small jungle) , I like the greenery around

@CuriousGab Oh so that means, it's prohibited by the law to feed them?..

They only visit once every year...they travel from east to west but this time they were in opposite direction and they came twice too..probably they changed their way of returning. We give them some food and they donot approach us..they stay far away and never had they harmed anyone over these years. They come rest for a night on our tamarind tree,eat what we give or eat leaves and next morning they leave the place...it has been their routine for many years. They are familiar with us and the surrounding

@epiffanie No,I don't think there is such law here

@CuriousGab Ok. Best, keeping distance from monkeys.

@oahuwriter Yes,we donot approach them

They are not native...they are travellers We also have the rest of the animals you mentioned...but this guest visits once every year. Since they are wild...they could attack if we disturb them

@CuriousGab they can be dangerous too . They attack on human beings when they get irritated. I have seen many people being bitten by them. So never get close to them.

Thankyou Monkeys were cute and naughty too. They made me run after them and made me beg just for a single photograph But glad finally they agreed..and gave a nice pose

@sjvg1976 Yeah,I know. And this photo is zoomed...I was standing very far from them.. Infact they were approaching and getting close to people nearby...they were passing freely as if it was their land

@CuriousGab ohh so dangerous. Take care

@Andini No,the cheetahs are not common visitors ...it was said that they ran away from a nearby sanctuary They won't come back again

We also have some other guests like rabbits,wolves,deers especially in our farms where there are many trees and hills. Last year we even had a rare guest cheetah...we were not allowed to go out..they killed our neighbors calf Finally they were caught and taken back.

Monkeys are very rare ...they only come once an year..when they are traveling..as we don't have favorable environment for them. I have seen your bird bath and it is very nice We too have many visitors daily and they are welcomed always. Some weaver birds built their nests on our well but this time the rain was more than usual and water reached the mouth of the nest

Monkeys are not friendly It's better to maintain distance.. We too have many different types of birds chirping all day We also have kept some hanging boxes for them and they do use it as their nests especially sparrows

@CuriousGab but you got them captured . Lucky you that they didn't capture you

@sjvg1976 Yeah,I am more stubborn than them.. They were fast but I was faster than them

Possible They might be not wanting to come in limelight..

These were special monkeys he might have a date and was getting late... Oh...it rhymed...

Probably they were on some protest... Usually monkeys donot like any disturbance otherwise they attack Was anyone hurt?or received any injuries?

Don't worry...I'll ask this monkeys to contact those in your area to go visit you Make sure you prepare gifts for them...

@CuriousGab haha could be

Maybe...these monkeys are some big celebrities among monkeys and donot want to let other monkeys know where they are...so they won't get followed

Your house is somewhere near of a forest? My village is full of concrete jungles..so they don't stay here....our house is covered with big tamarind trees and have lost of greenery around as we live away from main area...so they visit us once every year while they are traveling stay for a night and start their journey again This year it was unusual of them to visit this month.

@CuriousGab nope but in some cities in India it's common for monkeys coming inside societies

@ThatDisha Yeah,I know. The previous place where my aunt stayed was full of monkeys. They daily came inside the house in groups and ask for food. Once when I was alone on terrace and a monkey started running towards me..at that time i was only 10 yr old.I screamed and ran down...but ...it was just going somewhere not running after me
