A family in south India has adopted a lost monkey, who became comfortable enough to go on motorbike rides with his human 'dad'. <br /><br />The 'father', a man named Ganesh from Nagai district in Tamil Nadu, found Ram the monkey in his home but rapidly grew to like the little simian. <br /><br />He commented: "Ram frightened everyone but was very comfortable in our house... it ate the biscuits that we gave it and became one of our family. <br /><br />It also started to sit on my bike for visiting the nearby places and everyone in our area watched the same with excitement." <br /><br />However the monkey has since been returned to the wild, as Ganesh felt that he could not keep Ram, adding: "Many dogs are here in our area and we are scared that these may harm the monkey, and so we decided to hand over Ram to the forest department employees."
