The world of monkey
"Monkey (animal), any of about 160 species of primates that have grasping hands, forward-facing eyes, and highly developed brains. Most monkeys also have tails, a characteristic that distinguishes them from their larger primate cousins, the apes. Monkeys are highly skilled climbers, and most spend much of their lives in trees. Some have prehensile tails—that is, tails capable of grasping—that they can use as a fifth limb while foraging for food or climbing." (Encarta® Online Encyclopedia) In many places in Acheh, monkey has become a burden in certain degrees for some farmers. In desa Geudong, about twenty-five miles north from Matang Glumpang Dua, monkey's populations has grown overwhelming. Coconut, chocolate, papaya and banana farmers having terrible time in keeping all the plans produce quality and good amount of crops successfully. Like any other animals, monkeys eat all they can while having with it. 

Monkeys enjoy destroying the plants as much as they enjoy eating
