Wild monkey officially recognized as alpha male

OITA, Japan - Makoto (front), a male wild monkey at Mt. Takasaki in Oita, southwestern Japan, eats bananas during a ceremony to recognize him as the new alpha male of a troop of some 540 wild monkeys fed by humans on March 3, 2012. The Takasakiyama (Mt. Takasaki) Natural Zoological Garden conducted the ceremony after a one-month observation period to make sure that Makoto, estimated to be 14 years old, had indeed become the troop's 16th boss, taking over the post from Tiger, believed to be 26-year old.
