There are a number of “Monkey Islands” in Vietnam. I visited the one out of Nha Trang.

… or was it Donkey Island? 😀

Monkey Island, Nha Trang, has more than 1,200 monkeys.

Few rules, I’m afraid.

Tourists feed them directly, risking scratches and bites.

I took in the “animal circus“, as well. Noting that dog tricks seem perfectly acceptable — but that monkey tricks seem abusive. No logic there, I’m afraid.

The HIGHLIGHT by far was watching some of these beasts entertaining themselves by jumping into water. High diving!

There was no food reward for this. They were doing it strictly for FUN.
