We were only in the monkey forest for about 5 minutes when my daughter got bitten. She was only 4 years old at the time.
The monkey was very savage and wouldn't let up.
It kept going at her. Then it turned on her twin sister.
It was a frightening situation.
The only way I got it to stop attacking is I had a can of OFF (mozzie repellent) in my hand and I had to spray it in the face.
Then we got out of there quick smart.
Luckily she was wearing a thick pair of shorts so it did not break the skin but it left a full bite size bruise. When we got home she had a tetnus shot.
They were attacking other people as well.
I do not find those monkeys cute or appealing at all and would never go there again. Not nice.
