monkey fight occurs at a zoo in Japan
As temperatures soar, a group of Japanese macaques living at Tama Zoo in Tokyo, Japan became affected by the sizzling heat and started picking fights with each other. British photographer David Williams has captured the hilarious moment when a troop of monkeys showed off their jabbing and flying kick skills in the splashing water.
The macaques were not really attacking each other in a hostile manner but play fighting for fun, Williams told the Daily Mail. “Usually the older monkeys are just relaxing in the pool to cool down or have a drink but the young monkeys love to pick a fight with them.”
Japanese macaques, also known as snow monkeys, live in large groups and establish social bonds and order through play fighting.
It's interesting how it's sometimes so clear when animals are play fighting. Sometimes my dogs play fight, and it looks like a real fight if you're not really familar with what's going on. But if you know the animal, you often know that if they were really angry at each other, they could take each other apart in a bloody mess. But this never happens with my dogs! they just like to show a lot of teeth and roll around. Which is what these monkeys look like they are doing.
