This time: Hunting Monkeys.

Jungle Survival: The only sources of animal protein were the many wild species inhabiting the forest and streams. Especially fish, caymans, snakes, deer, monkey, tapir, parrots, various water fowl, and many others.
You are relatively disadvantaged because your size, anatomy, and sense organs equip you poorly for locating and capturing prey. As a hunter armed with a spear, bow and arrow or blowgun, and perhaps poisoned projectiles, you must spend a high amount of energy per unit food energy captured as meat, compared to fishermen or animal domesticators. But you may encounter another problem as you travel from one area of tropical forest to another: different species may require changes in hunting techniques.

In the jungle Protein is provided primarily by meat and fish, so hunting monkeys can be essential to survival. All hunting should be done with as little energy expenditure as possible. Set up a Trap and wait for dinner to come to you.

How the monkey trap works:
The monkey climbs up the log to obtain the bait attached to the trigger mechanism, in order to reach the bait he must pass through the loop: when the bait is moved it triggers the trap, snapping the spine on the monkey instantly.

Note: The meat of wild animals has long been a part of the staple diet of forest dwelling peoples. Increasingly, as the population becomes urbanized the demand for this traditional item is met by commercial hunters and traders. The trade in bush meat - much of it illegal - has become a business in which opportunists can make large profits.
