What should you do when there is a monkey in your path? And what are the misconceptions about their food sources? Primatologist Dr Andie Ang has the answers.

A relative had brought a small juvenile vervet monkey back from Africa. She kept it home with her as a pet – not knowing it was illegal – until she realised that it was better off not being confined to a small space.It may have been the end of her time with that monkey she affectionately called “Ah Boy”, but it was the beginning of her lifelong love for the primates.

Those who are in a rush, however, may make sounds to alert the monkeys, so that the animals are not surprised by their presence. They would usually disperse when they hear claps, she added. “Ninety-nine per cent of the time … you read about behaviours that are quite negative, it only happens maybe less than 5 per cent on the ground,” she said.
