The Badminton World Federation World Championships are being held in New Delhi, India, where monkeys are a common problem. To prevent them from disrupting the tournament, organizers have hired “monkey whisperers” who can mimic the calls of the monkeys’ natural predators, langurs. The whisperers have been tasked with keeping the monkeys away from the Indira Gandhi Arena, where the tournament is being held. The event began on August 17th and will end on the 23rd.
