An adult langur monkey has developed a strange habit. <br /><br />As devotees sit down to eat food, which is offered by a temple in Maharashtra, India, the monkey picks one of them to sit in front of. <br /><br />It approaches the person, sits quietly in front of him and starts eating from the same plate. <br /><br />The monkey eats quietly without troubling anyone and then leaves as the stunned devotee watches. <br /><br />An official at Swami Samarth temple in Akkalkot said a band of monkeys reside on the trees outside the temple. But only one of them has made it a habit to enter the place where the food is offered and share it with devotees. <br /><br />“The monkey is gentle and mature. Devotees believe it is a miracle of Saint Samarth, who is worshipped here,” he said. <br /><br />Langurs are an aggressive monkey species, which usually avoid contact with humans. But this monkey seems to be an exception.
