Image description: Monkeys driven mad by thirst during a drought invading a village in northern Ceylon. Some of the animals were infected with rabies, leading to the death of several villagers after they were bitten. Nelle regioni settentrionali dell'isola di Ceylon, dove la siccita che dura da parecchi mesi ha rovinato i raccolti del riso e del te, le torture della sete hanno spinto branchi di scimmie ad abbandonare le foreste e ad invadere i villaggi aggredendone gli abitanti. In certi borghi della provincia di Uva le scimmie diventate idrofobe hanno causato la morte di parecchi indigeni. Illustration for Illustrazione del Popolo, 21-27 October 1934.
