No Monkey Business

New Delhi has come up with a different, natural and humane method of animal control for their annual Commonwealth Games.  Every year, over 70 nations gather together to compete in the games, but are subject to attacks - by monkeys!  The Common Indian Bonnet Monkey are known to often attack humans, but are terrified of langurs.  So this year, about a dozen Gray langurs and their caretakers were hired by the Commonwealth Games Organizing Committee to protect the thousands of spectators and athletes that will be present.  The Gray langurs can be tame amongst people, but just one can scare off close to 20 Common Indian Bonnets at a time.  Using the langurs as an animal control method not only saves the lives of many Common Indian Bonnets, but extends job opportunities those involved in the animal community.
