In the three weeks since July 26, macaques have frequently attacked local citizens in Yamaguchi, Japan, and 45 people have been injured.
Local Japanese officials said that there are many macaques in the local area, but there has never been a case of attacking people. Recently, macaques have frequently attacked humans, which is really rare, and it is not known why macaques attack humans. Japanese police are also arresting macaques that attack humans. So far, not a single one has been caught, and the Japanese police said they would not abandon the operation.
Japanese wildlife experts believe that it may be that the current vastness of human land occupies the habitat of macaques, resulting in smaller and smaller habitats of macaques, and macaques are hostile to humans, believing that people have invaded their homes, and will take the initiative to attack humans and want to regain their habitat.
Yamaguchi city is not the most populous place in Japan, but the place with the most developed tourism. It is possible that macaques are invading their homes because they attack humans.
