People probably hunted it when there was a severe famine in between. Korea had a large population compared to its area, and sometimes severe famines came. So, hunting wild animals is not abnormal. Long ago, even rhinos and hyenas lived in the Korean Peninsula. The bones are excavated. For the case of monkeys, there is a record about native monkeys of AD 527, early period of Silla kingdom.

Cuteeeee!

Tons of monkeys playing in the snow recently.....

A bit unusual, but probably grabbing all the food given because of generosity during the holiday season.

Lot’s of monkeys at the moment……

Occasionally a monkey will climb up and stare into the camera, giving us a full-screen view.

Lottsa "Monkey business" at the moment!

Ok i saw how one mokey hitted the camera while a man pointed a him like ¨hey!¨ LMAO

What’s with all the cute monkeys? - haven’t seen them for awhile.

A guy comes by on occasion and tosses what I assume to be “monkey chow” into the area and, most likely, the monkeys post lookouts. Hope the guy’s just on vacation.

Ok :)

Puzzling.

It's been at least a couole weeks since I last saw them.

Well darn .....  not a monkey in sight.

Monkey see, monkey do!

They really are fun to watch.

Finally saw the monkeys live! I have been watching this thing since 2013 and tonight I  am happy.

monkeys are in hiding

Spider-cam now. 

There used to be 2 identical cams.  Now there is just this one.

I love seeing the monkeys in the snow!

Wait until you see the one that is knitting.

One is sleeping.  I think it is Chimp Chan.
