Jaipur is known for the large number of monkeys that are released in the city. One of the local Hindu temples was even nicknamed Tempo do Macaco. According to a New York Post report, the city has become known for the presence of animals, but it’s common for travel agencies to warn tourists about the high possibility of monkey theft. Among the most common items stolen by the animals are cell phones, cameras and wallets.
However, during the 2019 pandemic, the monkeys would have become more aggressive due to the lack of food. And it is still suspected that in 2021 A tribe of monkeys killed about 250 dogs for food in Maharashtra, a city near Jaipur.
