In March 2010, a 5-meter-high tower made of raw wood was completed in the Mantohi playground as playground equipment. There are several places to sit at the top of the tower, and when you climb to the top, you can feed the monkeys from the adjacent observation deck "Sky Terrace" at about 2 meters.
The baby monkeys were determined to be the first to get their hands on the food, so they began to climb up the tower without any fear of the height. However, they were not accustomed to catching what was thrown to them, so they went back down to pick up the food they missed. However, the older and wiser adults were waiting for them, and they ate the fallen food. From that day on, the young monkeys began their trials and tribulations.
At first, the little monkeys could hardly catch the food at all, but gradually they got better at it! Wow! When they succeeded, they were greeted with cheers from guests.
Now, when they notice a visitor holding food, they quickly climb the tower and lean forward as if to say, "Come on! He leans forward and waits for them as if to say, "Come on!
