The Ubud Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary consists in three temples (referred to as Pura), the Pura Dalem Agung, Pura Beji, and Pura Prajapati which are surrounded by forests. Balinese people pray in the altars of these temples in the Monkey Forest and give offerings to the gods.\u00a0The Monkey Forest is considered sacred among the Balinese people, as are the macaques that live at forest.<\/p>\n<h2>Around 700 monkeys and 186 species of trees<\/h2>\n<p>As currently estimated, there are around 700 monkeys living in The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary. \u00a0They are divided into 6 groups, each one of them consisting of 100 \u2013 120 monkeys:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>infants (0 \u2013 1 year)<\/li>\n<li>juvenile 1 (1 \u2013 2 years)<\/li>\n<li>juvenile 2 (2 \u2013 4 years)<\/li>\n<li>sub adult male (4 \u2013 6 years)<\/li>\n<li>adult female (&gt; 4 years)<\/li>\n<li>and adult male (&gt; 6 years).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These macaques are also completely used to humans and interact with the staff and tourists who visit the forest. There are plenty of stories about how monkeys can be very aggressive, stealing things and even injuring visitors.
