I don't know how many of you seen them for real, but they are like Indian monkeys and a bit bigger in size than normal monkeys. In the rooftop, heard some clatters and banging sounds. Went there to see they have come for a visit. Well actually, they have come to eat fruits and even flowers and young leaves. I could see them carrying their babies close to their chests and jumping off from one roof to a tree then to another roof. They are surely the masters in the balancing act. If you haven't seen a picture of them before, here is one

I hate them so much. They and monkeys are so big nuisance creators.

Mangoes are their favourite, but there is no mango in my yard this year.

So, you seems to have a numbers of them. Why they are coming out in your area and never stay on their proper place or the forest.

They have come for fruits or small leaves of some sort. They sometimes come here and do mischief.

@Sojourn I see. Maybe theres a shortage in their home nowadays because of cutting tree activity.

They are expert in tackling their babies.
