After the 2011 nuclear disaster, towns and neighborhoods in Fukushima were left devoid of humans for years, and nature started to reclaim the space.

His neighborhood is on the very edge of the evacuation area, relatively far from Daiichi. People stayed away for only a few years, but by the time they came back, the monkeys had become comfortable. And, Kanno points out, half the houses are still empty and only older people came back. They just don't have the numbers they need to win the battle against the monkeys without backup.

Don’t get tempted, CompoundBoss

npratc I don’t understand, “monkeys took over ?” Who writes this stuff? It should’ve read, “the monkeys regained the land that was taken away from them.”

“the monkey planet one” DBZ: Bardock - The Father of Goku?

This is pretty crazy to think about. But I guess since its 2020 you never know

They'll be a better steward of the land than we were

Monkey see monkey do

It's 2020 there's still time.

other locals will sew clothes for them then train them to ride horses

As long they don’t mutate and one is the size of King Kong, think we will be okay

Ironically they're better behaved than us human beings.
