Monkeys at Guwahati temple turn aggressive

Monkeys at a Guwahati temple have started attacking children recently. According to the temple's priest none of the 2,000 rhesus monkeys roaming in and around the temple have shown aggressive behaviour in the past.

Officials at the Guwahati zoo are examining a couple of monkeys to determine what has caused this recent change.

BTW, the same story on Yahoo! News is headlined: 300 children bitten by 'blood sucking' monkeys at famous Indian temple. Nothing like a bit of drama to liven up the news!
