The Monkeys do Delhi

Animal Kingdom Rises Up
by Pat Darnell

Monkeys are common pedestrians in Delhi. Unfortunately, Delhi is hosting the Commonwealth Games this season.

"Because they are large and fierce, langurs are often used in India to keep other monkeys in check in public places ..." and ... "We have deployed 38 langurs and it is a very effective way to scare away the common monkeys," NDMC spokesman Anand Tiwari told Reuters.

"We take these langurs on rent. Their trainers accompany them and once the assignment is over, they return home." Gray langurs feed on leaves, fruit, buds and flowers.**


"In 2007, the deputy mayor of New Delhi was killed when he fell from his balcony during an attack by wild monkeys, while 25 other people were wounded when a monkey went on a rampage in the city. [SOURCE]

These Old World primates, with tails longer than their bodies, apparently benefit others with their langurs' good eyesight and ability to post a lookout in a treetop, helping to raise the alarm when a predator approaches.

We at MooPig's PHOTO Analysis Department like the looks of the langurs in this picture; one might ask 'Who is holding who on a chain?' We all wish we could be there.

Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi Grounds is like a staging area for Noah's Ark:
" ... The 19th edition of the Commonwealth Games, only the second to be held is Asia after Kuala Lumpur in 1998, has also seen its share of other animal-related issues, among other more serious problems already facing organizers. Besides the stray dogs that run rampant on the streets, a 4-foot cobra was found at the tennis venue and another snake was caught in a room at the athletes' village.
Sacred cows also roam unimpeded in the capital city.
Rats are also major concern but the Municipal Corporation of Delhi is utilizing 600 traps to clear the venues of rodents.
Delhi is also reeling under a dengue fever outbreak with more than 3,000 cases reported so far this year.
Stagnant pools at some of the Games venues were found breeding mosquitoes and the organizers released mosquito-eating fish in the water at the Games Village. [ibid]
If that doesn't spark some foreboding --
"There is a high risk of terrorist attack in New Delhi," the department said on its website. "Since 2000, there have been at least 14 major terrorist attacks in New Delhi on locations such as markets, train stations and other public places. These attacks have caused hundreds of deaths and injuries." [ibid]
