Hungry Bali monkeys raid village homes in search of food as tourist handouts dry up

Deprived of tourist handouts, hungry monkeys on the resort island of Bali have taken to raiding villagers’ homes in their search for something tasty.

Deprived of their preferred food source — the bananas, peanuts and other goodies brought in by tourists now kept away by the coronavirus — hungry monkeys on the resort island of Bali have taken to raiding villagers’ homes in their search for something tasty. Villagers in Sangeh say the gray long-tailed macaques have been venturing out from a sanctuary about 500 meters (yards) away to hang out on their roofs and await the right time to swoop down and snatch a snack.
