#wild monkeys

“Watch out for wild monkeys!

Please:

• do not take pictures
• do not feed the monkeys 
• do not make eye contact
• do not show food

If they approach, pick up rocks and pretend to throw at them.”

They should probably stress the ‘pretend to throw’ part at the end. Also, as someone who’s been chased by monkeys, the 'do not make eye contact’ point is very good advice.
