There are several large troops of monkeys that live in the village ranging from large adults to small babies. They are seen as pests because they steal from the trees, bananas, cashew nuts, papaya etc. They jump on the roofs of houses with some force. Because the roofs are made of tiles, they can break them. Also in our house we have a skylight on the roof which is made of thin perspex. When I hear them thudding across the roof I am waiting on a monkey's leg coming through the perspex. They are also a nightmare when you are on the scooter as they are very unpredictable and when one decides to run across the road, the rest of the troop follows. Many road traffic accidents have occured because of this. Luckily Colin drives like an Indian so we have been safe so far.
