What mountain monkeys come this problem, it is different opinions, which have a more credible argument is the year the Hong Kong government wants to build a pond nearby, but there are poisonous plants affect one Machang money will Zhou Bian, water pollution . So the Government has introduced some very favorite horse creature money - to be eaten by monkeys. They complete the task after putting down roots in Kam Shan Country Park, it evolved into today's huge population of monkeys.
