What do you do when monkeys keep stealing your lunch on the way home from school?
A young Thai girl named Noey had her answer.
She started carrying an airsoft rifle. Every day she walks through the streets of Lopburi in her school uniform, the toy gun resting against her shoulder.
The macaques recognize the shape immediately and back away. No shots are ever fired.
A wildlife photographer snapped one of these walks. The photo went on to win a Wildlife Photographer of the Year award and reached the desk of the Thai Prime Minister.
The monkeys are still there. So is Noey, with her airsoft.
Have you ever seen a problem solved this creatively?
