[@alexanderj.6701]

Sometimes the barter goes a bit different. At that very spot in Bali I once saw a monkey snatch some expensive glasses from a dude much like in this video, and when a Balinese guy came to offer it a banana, the monkey took it with one hand while holding the glasses in the other. Then it thought for a moment, realised it needed the other hand to peel the banana, took one last look at the glasses and tossed them right off that cliff into the ocean. That was one long and spectacular fall, everyone was laughing. The guy who owned the glasses tried to laugh along but you could tell how much he was mourning his loss.

[@yesikanarvaez5027]

Wait don't they use their feet too?

[@alexanderj.6701]

@@yesikanarvaez5027They can, but in that case it chose not to. Funny thing was how the monkey was deciding what to do with the glasses once it got the fruit, looked to the left where all the people were standing, looked to the right which was off the cliff to the ocean, and figured the right was right.

[@buggyman286]

Tourists are incredibly stupid knowing what these monkeys are capable off and yet they have glasses and phones all exposed and ready to be yanked off them

[@catb4516]

Hey all, appreciate comments. My point is you may lose specialist $300 glasses (with sturdy wetsuite material keepers) as per what happened to my companion. I saw a lot more get 'lost' in a very short space of time and the Balinese well the 'keeper' was asleep. However, you may also risk getting rabbies. Do your own checking.

I was there, lost a pair of shades and a tube of sunscreen myself. I didn't give them anything, so they break the shades, twisted it like a pretzel, and throw it away. Could be worse, I saw a Korean girl losing her brand new, top of the line smartphone down the cliffs. No ransoming that one back. There was also an Indian mom choked while getting her necklace yanked off. The chain was too strong, both fortunately and unfortunately. A domestic tourist from Surabaya tried to ransom back his glasses immediately with his box of fried chicken meal, but the monkeys seemed to not understand that because the meal is in a box. He ended up paying a local granny to ransom those with a banana, something the monkey understands. The view is wonderful, but the experience is one under a looming sense of terror and insecurity from the monkeys.

Just got back from Bali last week, the amount of tourists who don't listen to the warnings or do their research before heading into Uluwatu temple is staggering.

But still, it's hard to feel sorry for them if they can't go without wearing sunglasses or other trinkets for an hour. For what it's worth, the Monkey Forrest in Ubud was a very different story. The monkeys there were much better behaved and there was also a lot more local guards armed with slingshots to make sure they don't try to get up to any hi-jinks.

[@CrazyIshan69]

​​@@micperez819Little slips can occur to anyone. That's not a test of their reading or intellectual capacity, so it would be good if you didn't act like an a$$hat about it. And besides, I would rather someone was confident when it came to admitting their shortcomings and laughing at themselves rather than being paranoid about looking perfect.

Cynomolgus is a genus of macaque native to Asia, it contains the Crab-Eating Macaque (Cynomolgus fascicularis) and the Stump-Tailed Macaque (Cynomolgus arctoides).

[@wiandryadiwasistio2062]

isn’t it _Macaca?_ or they have changed it again without me knowing?

[@goosewoman]

@@wiandryadiwasistio2062macaca is the name of the genus, yes. Macaque is the name of the animal.

[@indyreno2933]

@wiandryadiwasistio2062, Macaca is in exclusively African genus with only one extant species: the Barbary Macaque (Macaca sylvanus), which therefore removes all asian macaque species from the genus and relocates them to eight separate genera: Pithecoleo for only the Lion-Tailed Macaque (Pithecoleo silenus), Cynomolgus for both the Crab-Eating Macaque (Cynomolgus fascicularis) and the Stump-Tailed Macaque (Cynomolgus arctoides), Oreopithecus for the Arunachal Macaque (Oreopithecus munzalus), the White-Cheeked Macaque (Oreopithecus leucogenys), the Assam Macaque (Oreopithecus assamensis), and the Tibetan Macaque (Oreopithecus thibetanus), Calidopithecus for the Rhesus Macaque (Calidopithecus mulattus), the Japanese Macaque (Calidopithecus fuscatus), the Hainan Macaque (Calidopithecus brevicaudus), and the Formosan Macaque (Calidopithecus cyclopis), Indocebus for both the Bonnet Macaque (Indocebus radiatus) and the Toque Macaque (Indocebus sinicus), Hyocaudus for both the Northern Pig-Tailed Macaque (Hyocaudus leoninus) and the Southern Pig-Tailed Macaque (Hyocaudus nemestrinus), Leucocebus for both the Pagai Island Macaque (Leucocebus pagensis) and the Siberut Macaque (Leucocebus siberu), and Melanocebus for the Moor Macaque (Melanocebus maurus), the Tonkean Macaque (Melanocebus tonkeanus), the Booted Macaque (Melanocebus ochreatus), the Muna-Buton Macaque (Melanocebus brunnescens), the Heck's Macaque (Melanocebus hecki), the Gorontalo Macaque (Melanocebus nigrescens), and the Celebes Crested Macaque (Melanocebus niger).

[@indyreno2933]

@goosewoman, nope, Macaca contains only one extant species: the Barbary Macaque (Macaca sylvanus), thus making Macaca an exclusively African genus, while all asian macaque species are removed from the genus and relocated to eight separate genera: Pithecoleo for only the Lion-Tailed Macaque (Pithecoleo silenus), Cynomolgus for both the Crab-Eating Macaque (Cynomolgus fascicularis) and the Stump-Tailed Macaque (Cynomolgus arctoides), Oreopithecus for the Arunachal Macaque (Oreopithecus munzalus), the White-Cheeked Macaque (Oreopithecus leucogenys), the Assam Macaque (Oreopithecus assamensis), and the Tibetan Macaque (Oreopithecus thibetanus), Calidopithecus for the Rhesus Macaque (Calidopithecus mulattus), the Japanese Macaque (Calidopithecus fuscatus), the Hainan Macaque (Calidopithecus brevicaudus), and the Formosan Macaque (Calidopithecus cyclopis), Indocebus for both the Bonnet Macaque (Indocebus radiatus) and the Toque Macaque (Indocebus sinicus), Hyocaudus for both the Northern Pig-Tailed Macaque (Hyocaudus leoninus) and the Southern Pig-Tailed Macaque (Hyocaudus nemestrinus), Leucocebus for both the Pagai Island Macaque (Leucocebus pagensis) and the Siberut Macaque (Leucocebus siberu), and Melanocebus for the Moor Macaque (Melanocebus maurus), the Tonkean Macaque (Melanocebus tonkeanus), the Booted Macaque (Melanocebus ochreatus), the Muna-Buton Macaque (Melanocebus brunnescens), the Heck's Macaque (Melanocebus hecki), the Gorontalo Macaque (Melanocebus nigrescens), and the Celebes Crested Macaque (Melanocebus niger).
