Monkey spotted in Tokyo’s Minato Ward

October 3rd, 2008 by James

Fuji TV reports that a monkey, possibly the same one spotted in Shibuya Station last month, was seen in Tokyo’s Minato Ward yesterday:


Witnesses first spotted it in the area about a week ago, eating a Japanese persimmon plucked from a tree. The most recent sighting of the monkey took place at a temple, where it was reportedly fighting with two or three crows. Residents were able to snap a photo of the monkey, allowing an expert to examine its facial features and proclaim that this is probably the famous Shibuya Station monkey.

Once again, a hilarious monkey article. I have to say though, one of these seems to pop up ever one to two weeks on a fairly consistent basis. If I ever go to Japan I’m coming with bananas as peace offerings, as it seems they’re trying to take over and I wouldn’t want to be without gifts for the new overlords.
