THE BONNET MACAQUE FAMILY



At Elephanta caves the makaques are so tame that you can get quite close and make a video nearly without any zoom. They also behave very naturaly and don't mind the visitors. But take care if you have a bottle of water or other liquid with you and they are thirsty they will try to steal it from you, especially the kids and small female are targeted. Myself I was attached from the back but holding the bottle quite firmly I could keep my water for me.
One they have stolen a bottle they know how to open it, put it on the floor and trink the water flowing out of the bottle.

It is an amazing video specially because of the way the caring mother is taking care that the baby doesnt go away...
