    The Wider Image: No more monkey mania in Thai town

    A long-tailed macaque snatches food from a local student near Phra Prang Sam Yot temple, as officials start capturing monkeys in Lopburi, Thailand, June 7, 2024. After Lopburi came out of the pandemic lockdown in mid-2022, its residents found that the monkeys, without people feeding them, had become unruly. Troops of macaques had taken over buildings, often confronting residents, stealing food and causing accidents. Gangs of monkeys also fought in brawls, shocking locals. Some residents resorted to caging themselves within their homes.  REUTERS/Chalinee Thirasupa
