At present, there are more than 1,000 monkeys on the island, which are short-finned macaques, whose scientific name is Macaca Mulallata, giving birth to about 150 monkeys each year. Monkeys usually live in a herd of about 30-50 children per flock.

Every Monkey King on the island usually owns 3 to 4 female monkeys, and most female monkeys like to have sexual intercourse with the Monkey King rather than other male monkeys.

Sometimes. there are fierce competitions among male monkeys. They fight with each other. The dominant winner takes charge of protecting the herd and it also has the right to have sexual intercourse with any female monkey that he likes.

Vice-captain Nguyen Huy Phuong said: "Monkey mother's love is like maternity love of human beings. They are ready to die to protect their children". Then he told us about a heart-wrenching story happening just last year on the island.

When the dog was sleeping, some little monkeys jumped down from the tree and teased him, making the dog angry. The monkeys quickly ran away. Inadvertently, there were two other little monkeys passing by, the dog thought they were the brats so he lunged towards them to bite. The Mother monkey immediately covered her children with her whole body, regardless of how violent the bites were.

When the officers of the island ran to the place where the dog was removed, the mother was bitten to death, but she had managed to protect her children. This brave mother monkey was buried by island officials. "If the unlucky monkey is sick and dead, the mother will still hug her body in her lap. Only when the monkey has become a white skeleton does the mother monkey bury her kid at some trees, " Phuong said.
