"They also tear up my mushrooms and throw them around just for the hell of it -without even trying to eat them." Moki's next-door neighbor, Haruji Kenmoto, 65, estimates that engai damage cost him $6,000 last year. "Sometimes they even come indoors and bare their teeth at the children," he says. "It scares the daylights out of them." One macaque climbed up on Kenmoto's roof and pushed at his chimney...
