Dog Vs Monkey

Elephanta Island, India.

 

Whilst in Mumbai my girlfriend and I decided to take a trip to Elephanta Island. The island consisted of world heritage caves surrounded by stunning scenery.

 

On arrival we visited the caves and were amazed by their beauty and took numerous photos with both of my lenses.

 

Although the photos produced brilliant results, it was the animals, which we had been warned about before arriving, that really stole my attention. We had heard about the monkey and they triuble they could be, but we never imagined that we would witness a dog that just couldn't handle anymore of their antics.

 

I was able to get right up close to the action with my 35mm fixed lense, but had to back away at points after the monkeys all growled at me simultaneously.

 

Although taking on 8 monkeys, almost its on size, the dog showed no fear. The battle lasted over three minutes, and eventually ended with a stalemate of growls and hisses....
