No Monkeying Around

India's Delhi Metro has hired a monkey to frighten off other monkeys from boarding trains and upsetting passengers.

The Langur monkey, trained since the age of three months, has been patrolling monkey-prone stations on a leash.

In June, a monkey boarded a train at Chawri Bazaar station and reportedly scared passengers by scowling at them for three stops. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation says it hopes the new hire will avert a repeat of that episode. - Reuters
