For the last two days a remakable large monkey has caused fear and anxiety to habitants at the araa of Jembrana.
The male Bojog with a large body initially appeared out of nowhere on Wednesday (19/9).
Initially the residents of Batuagung Village, Jembrana thought that
the primates were the ones they had because it appeared before the twilight of the puppet and the puppet.
Banjar Tegalasih residents saw the bojog walking on the roof of his house. Because it is considered to be a bojog, the citizens left him alone.
However, because the bojog went into homes to look for food and take anything that could be eaten and damage the roof of the house, residents became restless.
Moreover, children and women are afraid because the bojog is large.
At first the big, long-tailed boogie was mistaken for the bojog duwe. But because we entered the house to look for food and damage we were afraid that if we approached it, we would bite, ”said Ni Ketut Suryani, 45, a resident of Tegalasih yesterday.
Due to the ongoing disturbance the alleged spouse of the citizen who was released by the villagers was then pushed into a crowd.
The Bojog ran east towards the moor and went to the settlement in the Batuagung Banjar. "However, soon the bojog returned," he said.
Because the bojog was disturbing, the residents did not dare to let their windows or doors open.
Residents of Batuagung, Jembrana were made anxious after a giant sized bojog suddenly appeared in a residential area.
Not only stealing food, the male bojog also damaged the roofs of people's homes. Because of its size, people are so scared.
Initially the residents thought that the primate was a bojog duwe because it appeared before Kalipaksa and tumpek wayang. Moreover, its appearance is so mysterious.
In addition to disturbing residents, the bojog presence also disturbed students of Batuagung 1 Elementary School. The bojog appeared from the moor and jumped the wall and entered the school while students were studying.
"During class hours and the canteen was quiet on Tuesday suddenly the bojog appeared and entered the canteen. I tried to get rid of him but instead damaged the plapon, "said the guard of the Batuagung 1 Public Elementary School canteen, Ni Komang Ariawati.
The presence of the bojog made the students who were learning shocked. "We were surprised there was a bojog going to school.
Then we go out and go to the bush, "said Kadek Dananjaya, one of the students of SD 1 Batuagung.
In order for the bojog not to be more troubling, residents then reported to the Satpol PP of Jembrana regency government.
Members of the Satpol PP together with Veterinarians and Agriculture and Food Service field officers and Babinsa and Bhabinkamtibmas then went down to search by carrying chopsticks with anesthetic.
However, after being searched for a long time with the locals, they were not found in Banjar Tegalasih and Batuagung.
"We've been around but the bojog isn't found. We estimate that the bojog keeps the people out of the city who are far from the forest, "said the Head of Tibum District and Tras of the Satpol PP of Jembrana Regency Government, I Kade Agus Arianta.
Arianta said the existence of BOJOG indeed made people worry about monkeys for fear of attacking children.
"Once the bojog was seen. But when approached immediately ran into the bushes. What is feared is that if they feel pressured by the bojog, they will attack the people, "he concluded.

Ngurah Rai Airport, Bali, serving an average of 1.95 million passengers per month during the January-August 2018 period from a total of 15.6 million people, up eight percent compared to the previous year.
"Passenger statistics from year to year continue to increase and we hope to boost the target of foreign tourists visiting," said General Manager of I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport Yanus Suprayogi in Denpasar on Thursday.
According to him, if the number of passenger movements on average per day reached 64,300 people or per hour it reached an average of 3,388 people.
Out of a total of 15.6 passengers over the past eight months, 4.1 million are foreign nationals or foreign tourists.
That number jumped 6.61 percent compared to the same period the previous year reaching 3.8 million.
The achievement of the number of foreign tourists for eight months, continued Yanus, contributed to almost 62 percent of the total foreign tourist target to Bali this year reaching 6.27 million people.
Meanwhile, if specified based on the origin of foreign passengers from 4.1 million foreign tourists, 23.5 percent of them from China made the country sit in the first position.
The second position was occupied by Australia as much as 18.6 percent, followed by India (5.9 percent), England (4.4) and Japan (4.1 percent).
Other countries namely the United States, France, Malaysia, Germany and South Korea occupy the top 10 countries contributing the largest number of foreign tourists.
Meanwhile in the aircraft movement statistics for the period of January-August 2018, there were 107,338 aircraft going in and out of I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, both through Domestic Terminals and International Terminals.
That amount, he said, was an increase from the same recording period in 2017 reaching 96,723 aircraft served by the airport or an increase of 11 percent.
One of the main reasons for this beach festival is that it draws thousands of people to a less visited part of the island, Lovina. As Lovina is located on the northern coast of Bali, not many people make the effort to travel up there during their stay in Bali. However the people in the Buleleng Regency want as many visitors as possible to travel up here to see the natural beauty of this part of the island.
