how should tourists deal with encountering monkeys in the wild? yi gang, a staff member of the animal management department of hefei wildlife park, told reporters that tourists should try to stay away from areas where monkeys are present and not actively tease monkeys. "if you are attacked by monkeys, don't panic or scream. if there is food in the package, you can throw the food away to lure them away. don't do anything to provoke the monkeys."
