Because as the time goes the population of monkey in mentawai forest decrease so badly. Now consider we lucky if we can saw any monkey in there. The population nearly gone and they choose to hide more often.
This skull is so simple but so sacret, we try to ask they one of their skull because they are so many skull in one house at mentawai. More than 50 pieces of head monkey skull each house. They said if we take one of the skull the population of monkey in the forest will greatly decrease.
