According to Jimu News, there are many macaques in Yamaguchi City, Japan, and these macaques will not only take the initiative to attack children, but also adults.
Japanese macaques are also found in other parts of Japan, and it is very unusual for macaques to actively attack people in Yamaguchi City. People were either scratched or bitten.
The Japanese also said that it is not yet known whether it is a single monkey or multiple monkeys.
Japan also tried to catch monkeys by setting traps, but these monkeys were too shrewd to catch any of them. So far, 45 people have been injured.
As a populous country, India often has monkey attacks on people. Indian experts believe that the reason why these wild monkeys attack Indians is because Indians have destroyed the monkeys' habitat.
They often had to change places, could not find a suitable home, and were forced to break into Indian homes and attack humans. They are not like humans, who control their temper, and monkeys have a short temper, and when they lose their temper, they will send out and will not hold back.
It's like monkeys in some tourist attractions, although humans can be seen all day long. However, after being fed by humans, they will subconsciously think that there will be food in human backpacks, because they often see people take food out of their backpacks and give them. Over time, they will form a conditioned reflex, thinking that there is food in the bag. So you can often hear some monkey bag snatching incidents.
So are japanese macaques attacking humans the same reasons as wild monkeys in India?
This wild monkey in Yamaguchi City, Japan, is called a macaque. Macaques are mainly found in southern Asia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Japan. Macaque tails are short, with a thick buccal sac body, with an average body length of about 50 cm, some species tails are slightly longer than the body, and some are tailless; Their forelimbs are about the same length as their hindlimbs, their thumbs are opposite those of the other four fingers, they are flexible in grasping things, and their foreheads are low and have a protruding edge. In the same genus of monkeys, individuals are slightly smaller and thin-faced.
In group life, macaques often live in groups of dozens or hundreds, led by the monkey king, living in groups in the forest. During the breeding and starvation seasons, the clusters are often larger, so the range of activities is also larger. Good at climbing and jumping, can swim and imitate human movements, and has moody and sad performance. When the temperament is restless, he likes to throw stones at people.
Monkeys have a talent for imitating human movements, and the reasons why these macaques in Japan attack people and the reasons why Indian monkeys attack people should be different.
As a developed country, Japan attaches great importance to the protection of the environment, not to mention the large number of trees cut down, resulting in macaques having no home.
The reason why these Macaque monkeys in Japan attack people is most likely because of the lack of food, in the breeding period, and the temperament is more violent. Seeing that people have food, they are even more uncomfortable.
Now going out, not only to prevent humans, but also to prevent this kind of human-like monkey, but it is really overwhelming. The monkey's movements are agile, it can't beat it at all, and when it attacks people, it grabs and bites, it really can't beat it, it is not the opponent of the monkey at all. What makes people more worried is that these wild monkeys originally live in the wild, and they must carry all kinds of bacteria, and if there is an infectious disease, it will be impossible.
Therefore, if you are scratched and bitten by a monkey, you must go to the hospital in time for examination.
The Japanese could not have imagined that in the 21st century, the drama of the human-monkey war was staged in the streets.
