If I am to say, if I am to discuss wild animal, I would say the monkeys. In Hong Kong, the monkeys usually live in mountains, typically near the country parks. There are like according to recent study, there are like 10, a bit more than 10,000, 10,000 monkeys in the wild in Hong Kong. I think people generally have mixed opinions. Some people like monkeys very a lot, since monkeys are very cute and they are very active. They tend to move around very quickly, but are very cute for some. But on the other hand, people may think the monkeys are very naughty, since they tend to steal things from people, especially the hikers and those who are going for a barbecue. I think in the future, there will be more or less the same number of monkeys in the wild since on the one hand, there is an effort to conserve the number of monkeys in the wild. People like to maintain the population of monkeys, but on the other hand, I think, going to a continuous habitat loss in the wild, I think monkeys will struggle to find a habitat to live. So, I think overall, there will be more or less the same number of monkeys in the wild.
