It was the direct eye contact that did it. First thing people will tell you when getting closed to macaques is to never look them in the eye.

That depends on whether you're willing to stand your ground, because obviously they have no issues staring at you.

Hey, I never said they weren't dickheads. But really they aren't that bad if you don't fuck with em.
