Cash ape army was disbanded immediately leave the premises will be their grave. Rose ape carcasses left lying on the grass Setra. Then, a few moments later the ape army back again and continue the procession to bury the carcass when the situation is considered to be safe from humans. Because oddly enough, when the young man returned to the scene, it turned out he had not seen no longer exist or scratching nails dug to bury his monkey. Mound was not there, but the land was sunken without a trace signifying monkey carcasses had been planted. It should be buried there after the former mound, but the difference here, the soil becomes concave. This is believed to be the former that monkey carcass was buried.
