MONKEYS CAUGHT HUGGING AND PLAY-FIGHTING IN THE WILD
WITH PIX AND VID
By Shuk Yee Tsang
A playful moment between two monkeys was captured on camera during a light-hearted encounter in the bush.
The footage was filmed by Zaheer Ali, a photographer from Johannesburg, South Africa where it was shot in Kruger, South Africa.
The video shows the two monkeys embracing, grappling, and play-fighting, creating the impression of a dramatic showdown that quickly turned affectionate.
Zaheer likened the scene to a tongue-in-cheek wrestling match, jokingly captioning it: “John Cena vs Brock Lesnar, Kruger Edition. The real showdown is in the bushveld!”
Viewers were quick to react to the amusing footage, with one commenting: “I’m surprised no one has told you to get out of your car and break up this fight ”
Another wrote: “I just love this video. Monkey business or at least baboons monkeying around. Absolutely gorgeous.”
A third added simply: “Make love not war.”
