Monkeys like bananas

Now I know this is true. Yesterday we bought some pomegranates, oranges, and bananas for our train journey. As I was in the Delhi train station waiting to board, a monkey jumped over the railing and headed straight towards me and the fruit. I completely freaked out and dropped everything. The monkey grabbed the bananas and retreated to share his steal with his friends. (Photo of monkeys & goats hanging out near the Monkey Temple in Jaipur).
