DAILY PHOTO: Helping Hand or Monkey Bite?: You Decide
Taken on March 24, 2014 at Nandi Hills.

FYI- For those who think one needs to get all “roided up” for strength building: Note this apparently puny monkey had the upper body strength to pull himself onto a roof while successfully fighting off an attack.
