Monkey injures 18, closes schools in Indonesia

Specialized wildlife rescue teams in Indonesia managed to capture a long-tailed macaque that had been attacking residents of Sumatra for two weeks, resulting in 18 people being injured, including children and the elderly, due to bites and scratches. The monkey, which often attacked individuals alone in the city of Tembilahan, was caught in a trap inside the town and transported to the regional capital, where medical examinations and behavior monitoring will take place. Despite these attacks, authorities have closed 40 schools and advised residents to remain vigilant, as there may be other monkeys posing a threat.
