Dark Days in Monkey City

Season 1

Deep in the jungles of Sri Lanka, the ruins of an ancient civilization are now a savage battlefield. Welcome to Monkey City. Rival tribes of toque macaques are battling for supremacy among the ruined temples.

This is an epic story about the fall and rise of the Temple Troop, the mightiest tribe in Monkey City, and the courage of its humblest female.
