Around 100 monkeys wreak havoc at Thai residential area after escaping from facility

Nearly 100 long-tailed macaques caused chaos in residential areas at Lopburi, Thailand after escaping from a government-run facility on Tuesday (Jun 30). After breaking through their enclosure, they wreaked havoc by climbing onto the roofs of surrounding homes and rummaging through garbage for food.

Local authorities and wildlife officials have since launched a coordinated operation to recapture the escaped primates. The damaged section of the enclosure is also being reinforced to prevent further escapes.
