After his run in with the langurs, Zamir continues to wander the city streets keeping a very low profile. He knows Rani and his former troop can't be far away, but has no idea his former gang has split up into two.
At first light Rani and her troop are on the move. There's still no sign of the missing youngster Teejay, but his disappearance can't stop the troop from continuing their search for much needed food and a new home territory.
Elder daughter Binita has spotted something. Intrigued by the talking box left on a wall she grabs the policeman's radio and joins the rest of the troop heading away over the rooftops.
Rani's troop is up early and heads deeper into Jaipur's city centre. The sound of early morning worshippers draws their attention to one of the city's main Hanuman temples.
With no sign of food from the morning's few visitors, Rani and Kamal decide to temporarily leave their temple home and head into the city in search of breakfast. Their departure doesn't go unnoticed.
At Galta temple there's a new troop in residence. Many locals seem pleased that the true hanuman monkey has arrived in numbers.
November 2013
Rani and the Galta Gang hierarchy continue to capitalise on temple handouts, but it's back to school for Bipin and the splinter group exiles as they head for the safety of the suburbs.
As Bipin and his splinter troop struggle to cope with rural life on the edge of the city, Galta Gang arch enemy Zamir revels in his new country lifestyle.
Jaipur, India, is home to the most riotous, unruly and lawless pack of monkeys the world has ever met! We see the world as they see it: against a bewildering backdrop of legs and any opportunities for causing trouble.

Tarak is found dead and Kamal now faces the prospect of leading the Galta Gang. New babies are born into the Galta Gang, but in the city Zamir has also left a legacy - twins! There's double trouble on the horizon...
Esha gets lost and Kavi finds his way back to the Galta gang at last. Zamir's army attacks the Temple and Tarak is seriously injured in the battle.
Zamir and his new troop raid a jewellery store and break into a hotel store-room leading to a run-in with little Kavi who becomes the troop's latest recruit.
Policing langurs patrol Delhi's streets and the Holi festival of colour interrupts Zamir's attempt to take over control of Galta temple.
October 2013
Galta gang exile Zamir seeks another tribe to attach to, but makes several etiquette mistakes before finding a gang that will accept him. Little Kavi is ready to return to his troop, but will they take him back?
Kavi is released and disappears into the city, and Zamir and his new gang raid an office. The monkey catcher traps the troop's alpha male, Vasu, leaving Zamir set for leadership.
Tarak is weakened by hunger and his position as head of the Galta monkey troop is threatened. And Rani might be forced to abandon her baby, Esha, if they don't find food soon.
