Hundreds of hungry monkeys terrorise Thai city after coronavirus drives tourists away

HUNDREDS of monkeys in Thailand were seen fighting over a single banana after the coronavirus caused a massive drop in tourists that would normally bring them food. Footage shot in the Lopburi district in the centre of the country shows the animals scramble over and attack one another. Large groups can be seen running across a road and targeting each monkey that manages to get hold of the banana. Even locals who are used to the animals’ behaviour seemed shocked by their ferocity.
