Alpha male no more

BR Hills, Karnataka, 15 Apr 2006

While I was working at BR hills last year, this monkey used to be the dominant alpha male. He used to attack other monkeys when I used to give them food and he even tried attacking me couple of times. Eventually another male took over and this chap became sober. I was shocked to see him playing with all the young monkeys and having fun.
