Description
This capture was taken during my trip to India on "Elephanta Island". The monkey seen here found a bottle partially filled with water and proceeded to unscrew it (right after this picture was taken) as if he had done it many times before. It was interesting to watch him after he had unscrewed it, as we was unable to determine a way to drink out of it (but could clearly see the water inside) and was very fun to watch.
Known in ancient times as Gharapuri, the present name Elephanta, was given by 17th century Portuguese explorers, after seeing a monolithic basalt sculpture of an elephant found here near the entrance. They decided to take it home but ended up dropping it into the sea because their chains were not strong enough. Later, this sculpture was moved to the Victoria and Albert Museum (now Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum) in Mumbai, by the British. This island was once the capital of a powerful local kingdom. - Wikipedia
