In Bali, a man visited the famous Sacred Monkey Forest in Ubud.
While it is encouraged to play with the animals, one took less kindly to it.
As it clambered down his arms, the monkey then bit the tourist on the hand as he tried to take his bag back.
The man then left the area with his bag in tow and away from the creatures,
While the bite didn’t appear too bad, it wasn’t made clear if he was seriously injured.
