When monkeys attack, a teachable moment

WASHINGTON — In this second installment of “don’t mock the animals,” a teenager appears to flip a monkey the bird, only to get a monkey on his back in return.

This video courtesy of shows a boy in Shimla, India, passing by a monkey perched on a shop stand on the street. While it’s not clear what started it, the teen stops, looks over at the monkey just a few feet away, and shoots the animal the middle finger. The primate takes this on board, and then leaps, knocking the boy flat to the ground.

 

Last week, ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½.com reported how after children “aped” him, thumping their chests and making monkey sounds.
