A male monkey rides a toy motorcycle during a street performance in Depok, West Java, Indonesia, 30 January 2018. Monkey street performances or 'Topeng Monyet' is a popular form of cheap entertainment in Indonesia, especially on the island of Java. During the topeng street performance a trainer issues commands by tugging on a chain tied around a monkey's neck, forcing it to carrying out tricks such as donning a mask or riding a toy motorcycle. In 2013 the Indonesian government banned Topeng Monyet in Jakarta but the ban has failed to stop the practice in other parts of the country.
