Rabies, maybes, and monkey babies. Or everything rhymes in India.

We all know there are lots of animals on my campus, but lately they've gotten way more intense. I've nearly run into five different species of animals on my cycle within the last 24 hours.

These are close encounters with death, friends.

Or one of them was. Imagine a hoard of monkeys filling the entire road. When I began trying to stop and dodge the monkeys, I was upon them, swaggering my way through the crowd. Then, one monkey with a bright red butt and thirsty eyes barred its fangs and jumped straight at me.

Luckily, my earlier experience with dog attacks on cycles taught me a thing or two. So I screamed and zoomed away. Seriously, that's what you're supposed to do.

That was the most exciting one, although I did swerve through a herd of cows; good thing they move slowly. Other bicycle sightings include a sidewinder, birds, and cats. I haven't even seen cats on campus, but sure enough I swerved one with my cycle.

So, don't trust the monkeys.
