I wondered this afternoon why TIME had chosen this particular week to publish a story about monkeys running wild in India.
Then I read the opening paragraph:
Most of the world’s big cities face a basic set of problems: traffic, pollution, crime. Then there is Delhi, which has an urban challenge that’s nearly unique: too many monkeys. Hungry rhesus macaques roam the streets and even the subway, leap through treetops outside grand government buildings and scale fences around offices and private homes, searching for open windows and accessible food. Even Delhi’s police headquarters has been raided by a monkey gang.
Macaque … macaque. Haven’t I seen that word in recent weeks? Does it have something to do with November 7?
