When I was there last I had an old duster with part of a vinyl roof that the monkeys tried to pull up. Luckily they didn't pull much up. Most of the other animals never came near my car.

I remember years ago when Dundurn Castle had the bird zoo in the back of the building. I was about 4 or 5 when it was my first encounter with a peacock. And it had it's wings open looking so pretty. And my reply was oh my look at all of those eyes.

I didn't drive through because I heard all the stories, so we just took pics from the bus. I didn't see any of monkey going wild on a car or I would of got those pictures, maybe next time I will get a nice shot of Mercedes SUV getting dismantled.
The peacocks seem to be the only animal that has free rein of the park, they seem to be good at staying away from children who trying catch them and were not aggressive at all.

I took their boat cruise to get a few pics of the monkeys on the islands (monkeys don't like water)
and the boat operator was calling the monkeys by name to say hi or was just trying to get some response from them. But both monkey laid down and covered their faces.
