| Rat-eating monkeys in Malaysia stun scientists |
| 2019-10-24 |
| h/t Instapundit [NYPost] -Killer monkeys were found to be catching and gobbling up large rats in Malaysia. Stunned scientists discovered the rat-catching macaques on palm oil plantations and say the hungry predators could be used as pest control. The southern pig-tailed macaques were typically thought to chow down on fruit, only occasionally hunting meaty prey ‐ and generally only small lizards and birds. However, scientists have now confirmed that these monkeys are also regularly snatching and devouring large rats. ...The report tracked macaques between January 2016 and September 2018 in plantations around the Segari Melintang forest reserve. Macaque groups typically numbered around 44 monkeys and killed 3,000 rats per year on average. That’s nearly 70 rats per monkey (or one every five days) over the course of a year.
