现如今，动物之间的暴力冲突越发严重，不仅如此，猴子在围攻犬类时，有时候还会误伤到人类，据了解，此前年幼的儿童就惨遭猴子的毒手，一群猴子试图将一个8岁的小孩拖走，在关键时刻大人及时赶到，扔石头救下孩子，倘若大人没有及时赶到，那么这个孩子或将有生命危险。印度在举行大型活动的时候，常常会派遣警察驻守在中泰姬陵附近，防止猴子暴动。泰姬陵，是印度知名度最高的古迹之一，有着“印度明珠”的美誉，是印度著名的旅游景点，每年慕名而来的游客络绎不绝，但近些年泰姬陵的旅游业发展却大不如从前，据悉，泰姬陵中居住有近600只恒河猴，这些猴子常常为了抢食而恐吓游客。

According to Stephanie Poindexter, an assistant professor at SUNY Buffalo whose research focuses on primate behavioral ecology, said studies have shown that animals—primarily monkeys—can practice revenge. Poindexter also explained that groups of hyenas have been known to seek revenge on the aggressor's relatives instead of the actual aggressor.
