13 Rules Around the World That Sound Made Up But Are Real

Don’t Feed the Monkeys

At Ubud Monkey Forest in Bali, feeding monkeys may look like the easiest way to get a viral photo, but visitors are told not to feed or interact with them unless trained staff are supervising. The official guidelines explain that monkeys have a proper diet, and human snacks can create problems. A monkey reaching for food looks funny, clever, and almost human for a second. But feeding wildlife can make animals aggressive, dependent, or unhealthy. The rule protects both the monkeys and the people visiting them. The best photo is not the closest one; it is the safest one.
