This is the moment a rare golden snub-nosed monkey is given what seems to be fruit, and the effects are incredible!
It’s simple to understand why this video went viral; the monkey is really lovely!
It turns out that this is a wild and endangered Chinese monkey who coexists peacefully with the Maoping villagers.
Because this town is home to so many unique wildlife, including as giant pandas and crested ibis, seeing some of these endangered animals is not uncommon.
Animal protection is very important to the residents, who live in harmony with them and try to protect them wherever feasible.
Many people have commented on the monkey’s ASMR-like noises when he crunches on the fruit.
Others have compared the monkey to an Ewok, a Star Wars-inspired fictitious race.
To us, it’s just a lovely, adorable monkey being fed, so what’s not to like!?
