Not just cats and dogs, videos of monkeys doing funny antics have always gained traction on the internet. Majority of these clips come with a foodie spin. Be it the viral monkey who was spotted eating pani puri in Gujarat or the video of a primate teaching its child not to take food from strangers – there is absolutely no dearth of monkey content on social media. Now the latest clip to grab the attention on Twitter is a man sharing watermelon with an ape.
The video opens with a man cutting a watermelon into a half, while the impatient monkey hops around in excitement. After cutting down the watermelon into two halves, the man took a chunk and handed it to the monkey. As the monkey enjoyed the sweet treat, the man also cut out a piece for himself. Upon noticing the monkey standing while eating, he instructed the latter to sit down. And guess what, it followed the instruction.
