There is no exact number of monkey attacks reported every year as there is no global recording system for these incidents, however, it can be estimated that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of monkey attacks reported annually. It is difficult to determine how accurate this number is due to the lack of a recording system and the vast differences in reported incidents, depending on the country and region in which the incident took place.
Reports show that monkey attacks are most commonly reported in parts of South East Asia, Africa, and India; however, there have been some reports of incidents in other regions of the world, including Europe and the Americas as well.
