Needless to say a group of them challenging one another can become a real nuisance by a village. Monkeys are intelligent creatures and have been known to use tools to help them with tasks such as opening coconuts and rotten wood to get to termites. This distinctive ability to think and abstract makes them unique compared to most animals in the animal kingdom. They have been observed attempting to use tools similar to humans in some cases after viewing them (such as fishing spears).
