Monkey ousts mantis as sole praying animal

“When we saw the monkey joining us we were surprised. We did not try to drive it out and it continued praying for nearly an hour amid hundreds of devotees,” Behera told IANS. It stayed around till evening when it ran into the nearby forests. “We have not seen any monkey around for the last two years. This is a miracle for us,” Behera said.

It was speculated that soon after monkeys got tired of throwing their feces all over the place they’d begin to smoke cigarettes and eventually seek eternal life by praying to the gods. Looks that that day has arrived.

Or it could just be another case of monkey see, monkey do.
