Bonnet Macaque, the Monkey Family on a Daily Forage

Out of the many animal forms revered in India, monkeys have a special place. They are seen as representations of Hanuman, the legendary monkey God and a loyal confidante of Lord Rama. Being so, people, especially in  North India usually tolerate the pranks and mischievousness of monkeys.

The video here depicts a monkey brigade thoroughly examining a jeep, as if a group of dedicated mechanics are fixing some problem with it. They are least bothered about mechanical failures of the jeep and is more interested in finding out edible parts of the jeep. After nearly an hour-long inspection the monkey patrol decides to leave the jeep alone and proceed on to find something to bite and enjoy by climbing up a nearby jack fruit tree.
