11 Macaque Monkey at Angkor Thom in Angkor Archaeological Park, Cambodia

Macaques are highly dependent on tourism, particularly around the temples at Angkor Thom. It is not uncommon to see as many as 100 or more of these Old World monkeys emerge from the jungle in search of handouts. They may look cute yet they can be aggressive. They are also thieves and will steal anything they can grab, including sunglasses, purses and cameras. Finally, most are infected with herpes B virus. This is often fatal in humans. So, if you want a picture, take it from inside the car and move on towards the temples.
