Forest rangers in Da Nang city capture a monkey accused of attacking dozens of tourists since late last year.
The pig-tailed macaque is categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) as vulnerable, or at high risk of endangerment in the wild.
Experts said that there are only a few of them living in the area.
Rangers began the chase after the monkey last Thursday, following reports that the animal had attacked many tourists, even brutally biting some on their arms and legs.
Some tourists suffered from blood loss and had to be hospitalized.
According to tourists, they saw other monkeys on the mountain but the said one was the only attacker.
The chase was challenging for the officers given the steep, rocky trail and the monkey’s briskness.
