Military mission to feed monkeys

One of the monkeys

Cannot play media. Sorry, this media is not available in your territory.

The army often gets involved in helping people out in disasters like floods and famines, but now the military in Thailand is turning its attention to monkeys!

There are more than 1,000 hungry macaque monkeys on Kledkaew island, in South East Asia and they all need feeding.

Normally they're fed by tourists, but the recent bad weather has kept them away so the navy's coming to the monkey's rescue. Leah's got the story.
