About three dozen monkeys have attacked embassy officials, defecated in offices, and destroyed equipment, embassy spokesman Sanjay Verma said. "We have sought help from experts and hope to get rid of the problem soon," Verma said. Experts from the Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation and from a zoo were called in to capture the monkeys. The embassy plans to pay 25,000 rupees, about US$350, for the task, Verma said. The embassy previously had caught some of the monkeys and took them out of Katmandu. "But somehow they managed to find their way back," Verma said. New Delhi has its own monkey problems. The animals are known to ransack files, screech at visitors and bang on office windows in India's Parliament complex. |

I was laughing when I read this one. The first thought that came into my mind? .....Well, the monkeys were just searching for their relatives and they landed in the right place. |

spark jyu, Thank you very much for clearing up, um, the monkey business, as it were! Yes, I was wondering why the Kathmandu monkeys would make a bee line to the Indian side and not the British. After all, the two embassies are separated only by a wall - a not too insurmountable barrier for a monkey. |
