We saw this interesting scene in TATR, India. Three young langurs were attempting to stage a coup by ganging up on the probably alpha male, and take over.
The fight lasted for a while.
Fortunately no blood was shed.

Apes and Primates can always be relied upon to provide entertainment! Primates being smaller and more agile can have some quite frantic group interaction, like that nasty ankle biter at the rear - as you have captured very nicely here, Chidu!

Great capture of this moment and the larger version tells the story even better.
