Macaque monkey asks for water

A thirsty monkey approaches slowly and tries to open a bottle. You can see the thirst in her eyes as she asks for water. Taking a sip, the monkey seems unafraid of the tourists staring at her incredible dexterity.
Batu Caves are a short ride away from Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). They are known mainly for their significance as a Hindu holy shrine dedicated to Lord Murugan. The site is also well known for its numerous macaques, which visitors like to feed — sometimes also involuntarily.
Monkeys are everywhere – darting in among unsuspecting tourists and worshipers alike – with no respect for either cameras or prayers.
But be aware, these monkeys may also pose a biting hazard to tourists, especially small children as they can be quite territorial.
