According to New Scientist Magazine, monkey tribes have police. Aside from arresting ducks, they also patrol the herd and “intervene to defuse scuffles before they can escalate.”
But I wonder where these cops were when a monkey attempted to steal my lunch on a lonely beach in Costa Rica.
Now there was an escalating scuffle.
The little bastard tried to steal my sammich and then refused to acknowledge the food chain and be chased off. The whole thing ended with me shouting and waving a stick around in a drunken frenzy while he bared his sharp, little teeth.
I like animals but I’ll hit a monkey with a stick if I have to. Stupid monkeys.

Thanks. True story by the way. But I’ve had way too many run ins with animals over the years. Hippos, birds, llamas. Seriously.
