While you're likely busy working from home, you'll want to be informed in one way or another. Aside from the news, we got you covered. We're going to discuss monkeys in this list. Monkeys may just be monkeys, but they're very intelligent primates that eat more than just bananas. Monkeys often have wonderful relationships with humans—after all, they're both primates and share a common ancestor in chimpanzees.

Monkeys in Thailand lean towards living in lesser-known cities such as Lopburi, Chiang Mai, and Ao Nang, as opposed to big cities like Bangkok and Phuket. That's mainly because there are larger tourism scenes in small towns. But enough of the geography: let's go over 10 things you need to know about monkeys revolting in Thailand because of COVID-19.

10 Monkeys Go Bananas Over Food Scraps

Amid the fear over the spread COVID-19, many travelers around the world are choosing not to travel abroad, and as a result, Thailand's drop in visitors isn't only affecting their economy, but also their monkeys. Their monkeys aren't being fed, so they're now fighting for food in the streets, which is a bizarre sight to see.

9 Monkeys Are Used To Being Fed By Tourists

If you're wondering why starving monkeys spark brawls out in public, it's because they're used to being fed by tourists. It's just sad that there's a sharp decline in tourists since Thailand is a beautiful and culturally-rich country, but right now, they've got to do what they need to do in their hometowns.

8 Due To The Lack Of Feeding, Monkeys Are Displaying Hyperaggression

Ecologist Asmita Sengupta told The Seattle Times: "The fall in tourist numbers because of COVID-19 may have indeed brought about a shortage of food supply for them ... That shows that feeding the monkeys can have detrimental effects. Once they get used to being fed by humans, they become habituated to humans and even display hyper aggression if they are not given food."

7 Monkeys Dominate Lopburi, Thailand

Monkeys are kind of a big deal in Lopburi, Thailand. Lopburi may be off the beaten path, but it's home to one of the largest festivals in Thailand—the Monkey Festival! Yes, the Monkey Festival! Monkeys are a common attraction in Lopburi, and that drives in some tourism each year.

6 COVID-19 Sparked Monkey Turf Wars In Thailand

Aside from the food battles, turf wars are another ripple effect of the COVID-19 outbreak in Thailand. That being said, hundreds of street monkeys and temple monkeys create chaos in Lopburi, and that's not good... unless you want to record a viral video to make some extra cash to fill up your wallet.

5 There Are 500 Monkeys In Each Gang

If you thought the last two brawls were big, wait until you read this: There are 500 monkeys in each gang arguing against each other.

500 is a huge number, and if you want to see 500 monkeys in real life, you might want to stop by Lopburi to see a bunch of monkeys fighting in broad daylight.

4 Infected Monkeys Give Scientists Hope For A COVID-19 Vaccine

According to South China Morning Post, Chinese scientists have discovered that primates who have developed antibodies after being infected with COVID-19 will recover from the disease, thanks to their immune systems. This is a potentially important discovery in the process of developing a vaccine. Let's hope the monkey experiment will lead to good things for humans.

3 Monkeys Can't Become Reinfected After Being Infected With COVID-19 Twice

The good news is that monkeys cannot become reinfected by COVID-19 after being infected twice. While there aren't as many monkeys as there are humans on this planet, this is a good thing because there's some hope in humanity for humans who have tested positive for COVID-19.

2 COVID-19 Isn't The Only Thing That Stresses Monkeys Out

Residents aren't the only ones who are affected by the heat in Lopburi. Monkeys can also suffer from heat-related illnesses such as fainting, heatstroke, and heat cramps. That's why monkeys take drastic measures for water on hot days. They can drink water straight from fountains and jump from trees into wells for water.
