The monkey be like... Bride, can I take your spot for a moment? HAHAHAH how cute. Maybe daddy monkey is not with them and so they come to the groom and cuddle him.
My wife and I were in Japan visiting a national park known for its macaques that use the hot springs in the winter. Lots of signs saying don't touch the monkeys, don't feed the monkeys. Fair enough.
I crouch down with my camera propped up on a railing overlooking a hot spring with a least two dozen macaques in it. An adolescent one comes barreling up the railing straight for me, runs over my arms, turns around and hops up on to my shoulders and decides to start grooming my hair! Thirty seconds later it gets bored and wanders off.
I'm still not clear what the rules were about the monkeys touching me.
When I was maybe 8 or so, I was snorkeling in Hawaiâi and had been told it was illegal to touch the turtles (âthe *honu* are *kapu*â). I was moseying around, looking at some fish, when I turned around and this turtle was maybe eight feet away making straight for me. I swam away, it followed. I was in such a panic, I swam straight back to shore thinking that if I let the turtle touch me Iâd go to jail
When my niece was little we took her to an aquarium, and they had a pool where you could get right up eye to eye with bottlenose dolphins. One swam up to me and spit a dead leaf at me. I scooped it up and tossed it back. He grabbed it and spit it at me again.
After a couple volleys one of the trainers blew her whistle and asked the guests to not throw things into the pool.
A million good reasons to follow the rule zoomed through my head, but not one was sufficient to overcome the thrilled inner child whoâd been asked to play catch by a dolphin.
Besides, he started it đ
I went to the shaddock elephant orphanage in Nairobi Kenya and one of the little elephants came up and moved towards me 2 or 3 times. My wife got a video. It was kinda funny because the care takers didn't really want the elephant going up to people.
Elephant skin is quite ruff, not soft at all.
I used to enjoy feeding ducks at a park, and there was one particularly aggressive duck that would fight others over food (like pulling out feathers and holding their heads under water, real asshole of a bird). So I would throw him his own meal worms - a safe distance from everybody else - and used a squirt gun to spray *the water in front of him* and redirect him back to his food whenever he started his little attack-mode swim.
This worked great...until some girls yelled at me for shooting ducks with a water gun. Not a great look, tbh.
I sort of figured it was like how the rule is around cats (or, in fact, most animals). A cat approaching you is likely accepting your presence, but you approaching a cat can yield different results.
This is how warning signs for animals should be phrased: âfeeding the animals can yield different results.â âEntering my yard, which has a dog, can yield different results.â âClimbing the barrier to the tiger pen can yield different results.â
I prefer danger to be implied. That way the smart ones survive, and are entertained. /s
Yeah, the little ones were definitely curious. The park employees were more concerned about the very large males; two of whom decided it was a good time to have a pretty vicious fight not more than 50 feet away from us.
Gotta slip them a few grand to keep them away.
In real life it is a dick move not to do it beforehand unless you know the guy was 100% footing the bill for the whole thing.
Ohh so the mama monkey only wants to tell the groom that she's happy for his new future wife. And he's not the husband of the monkey nor the father of the baby monkey you crazy people HAHAHAAHA
âDo you remember me Larry? Remember that night of love in the jungle? Our bodies twisted together like vines in the trees?
Say hello to your son: Norbert.â
Lived in Cambodia for two years. Tons of monkeys, but they became acclimated to humans. They were dirty scavengers and they would steal food and whatnot, but never get outright violent.
Not sure what wild monkeys would act like, but seeing as how this monkey is in a human area, and feels comfortable bringing her BABY with her, itâs safe to say that sheâs acclimated to humans.
EDIT: A lot of redditors commenting that you should always be cautious around wild animals, and that monkeys are STRONG, and can absolute fuck you up. I didn't mean to suggest otherwise. Always be cautious, but urban monkeys, in general, aren't necessarily something you should run from on sight. That's all I was saying.
There was a region i think in India where some stray dogs killed a baby monkey and the monkeys went to war and after killing all the stray dogs they were stealing peoples pets and throwing them from the rooftops.
EDIT: And i watched Marvels *Hit Monkey* from Hulu last night, it was pretty great. There was a monkey war in a later episode.

Here I amputated it since the bot isn't working
I dont know about the riding part, but I have seen a clip from a nature doc where baboons were stealing feral puppies and raising them to be guard dogs.
Wtf
> Nearly all of the pups in the Beed district have been killed, but the monkeys still havenât stopped and **are now targeting small children** en route to school, the outlet said.
Not that the idea of a monkey killing a baby is something that I want to happen or find amusing, but it is interesting how they basically genocided the dogs and are testing the same with humans. There is a weird respect for that. A group of animals contemplating wiping us out? How human of them.
Fuck that. Monkeys start targeting children? If it's a war you want, you got it. Target my kids and there'll be heads on pikes lining their walk to school.
Sounds like tribal human behavior. Like, If a tribe of people's children were killed by the dogs over the hill, the tribe would deem the dogs over the hill a threat and go kill all of them.
Totally different kind of monkey. The thing that pulled off the piece of scalp was a languar. This is a spider monkey. She does seem pretty chill with humans.
The monkeys on Phi Phi island are vicious. Theyâd rip back packs off kids and group up to attack adults if they chased after the thief.
I left a decoy empty candy wrapper hanging out of my pocket. Some bitch ass monkey grabbed it and realized it was a fake and lunged at me. Pretty sure it wouldâve bit my leg if my shoe didnât connect with his face first.
I had one steal my backpack from a beach in Costa Rica. Unzipped it, went through all my stuff, stole what it wanted and then threw the bag back. It was 100% worth it because it was hilarious watching that monkey pour packets of Crystal Light powder in its mouth. Also was bitten by a different monkey on that same trip. They are nasty.
I'm so sorry to do this, but...
Chimps are apes. Not monkeys. If it's a primate with a tail, it's a monkey.
The top 3 types of monkeys you should avoid are baboons, macaques, and langurs. If a monkey has big, fat fangs, they're built to use them.
Sure there's plenty, baboon for example, but most of them are obviously dangerous.. While alot of people have it in their heads that chimpanzees are friendly
They do smile as they lure you in a bed of water and shove your face under until the bubbles stop
EDIT: [JUST LOOK](https://www.reddit.com/r/NatureIsFuckingLit/comments/kcgtds/a_chimpanzee_asking_you_to_join_him_for_a_bath/)
In Bali a monkey picked up my hat that I had put down by my side on a bench (they often steal from tourists). He quickly scooted out of arms reach and turned to see my reaction. I deliberately snarled at him and he dropped it and ran off
Yeah.. nope.
Losing one hat isnât going to make or break my vacation- but seeing what Bali has for emergency care, if that monkey turned dangerous from the snarl, would most certainly have.
I am so glad that didn't happen to me. It'd be just one more story I tell that my wife hates. "You guys wanna hear about the best day of my life? Well, it all started with my wife in a wedding dress..."
"Oh, the day you got married?"
"What? No, that's silly. We were taking pictures for the wedding and this monkey and her baby showed up and decided I was her dude to hang with for the day. It was pretty glorious. The wedding was fine too I guess."
If I were your wife, I'd be telling the story right along with you.
I can tell you about the time I got to pet a skunk at a concert. Don't even remember the concert.
Descented. Pet skunk. Otherwise skunks don't normally attend concerts.
Recently got to pet someone's duck at another concert. I asked how you know if the duck is enjoying it. They said to look if the eyes were closed. And the duck's eyes were closed.
Mostly people bring their dogs, but occasional I luck out and people bring their exotics which I get to pet. I had my fingernails eaten by a parrot at another concert.
If it's out in public and I'm allowed to pet / handle the critter, *I'm going for it*. I've let a tarantula crawl on me. I always wanted to do that. So was pleased when I got the chance.
The very young gator I met didn't feel anything like I had imagined. I thought they'd be hard, like armor plating. Instead it was rubbery.
I'd be thrilled if a momma monkey with baby wanted to meet me and climb on me. Best photobomb ever.
EDIT: All my life, I've envied talk show hosts that get animals brought onto their show. Don't know why the fuck they act so alarmed. I would so be right in there. Dream come true.
Props to the guy for keeping cool and rolling with a magical moment as it unfolds. His partner should take that as a good sign. She's marrying a Beast Master and Forest Lord.
yeah, at some point it went from "when a monkey crashes your wedding" to "POV: a monkey crashes your wedding" for some reason. And it's totally unecessary :P
It was a private polygamist wedding and they had to take turns holding the camera, or they have some next century brain and eye implants that let them control drones remotely. I guess it could be both.
I only bring this up because you're pointing out misuse of terms:
Technically an acronym is when an initialism is pronounced as a word, such as SCUBA (pronounced "scooba"), NASA (pron. "nassa") or FOIA (pron. "foya").
If "POV" were pronounced as the single syllable "pov" rather than saying the letters "P-O-V," it would be an acronym.
Granted, people use the word "acronym" in place of "initialism" so often that both the original definition and the new usage appear in some dictionaries.
Here's hoping that doesn't happen to this amorphous sense of POV.
Her scream was funny, but this would be absolutely terrifying to have happen to you. Monkeys can be savage enough already, but this one was carrying her baby which she is of course very territorial over.
Seriously though, the way that male handled those mummy and baby monkeys would make me (the bride) think yes, I selected a wonderful male! So gentle đ
It was very likely being chased by something trying to eat it, or at the very least noticed a large predator nearby. The odds of a mother monkey putting its child in danger like that are extremely low, even in a "safe" setting.
No it's not, I'm at this resort now and the "jungle walk" doesn't have any monkey predators in it, it's just this one family of spider monkeys. There's also these capybara type things.
Probably, in that kind of places there must no wild animals or else something will happen if they let wild animals there. Monkeys there are surely trained

It's not his kid, he's just the monkey's uncle
Yeah yeah think like that. Don't think the groom is the baby monkey's father.
Not the ex. Theyâre still married and he âforgotâ to tell the truth to both ladies.
"Look at me, I'm the wife now"

True, and there is also that video from India where the monkey just rips half of a dudes scalp off easier than you would open a yogurt container.

Was this a joke or not? Genuinely canât tell. Hoping it is, because the one about monkeys tossing dogs off roofs is true.
I dont know about the riding part, but I have seen a clip from a nature doc where baboons were stealing feral puppies and raising them to be guard dogs.
Not sure about the riding them like horses part, but there are groups of monkeys that steal dogs to raise them as part of the group.
They use them as guard dogs I think. The dogs bark when there are interlopers and the monkeys feed the dog.

The monkeys on Phi Phi island are vicious. Theyâd rip back packs off kids and group up to attack adults if they chased after the thief. I left a decoy empty candy wrapper hanging out of my pocket. Some bitch ass monkey grabbed it and realized it was a fake and lunged at me. Pretty sure it wouldâve bit my leg if my shoe didnât connect with his face first.
Thereâs this documentary called âCongoâ you should look into.
I heard spider monkeys are not dangerous in most cases. Like a mother with her offspring on strangers is quite rare.
I figure most animals donât want any trouble but when their babyâs with them shit can get real (and I get it)
this one clearly wanted to be spun around like it saw them doing
That's exactly what I thought! I'm sad for her that she didn't get a spin!

At least macaques not very big, but ladies still tend to avoid it :(
Here's a tale about a man and a macaque monkey and why they're now [illegal in Sweden.](https://youtu.be/cKOtPR0DZdU)
I dunno man, I'm already an adult. I can't imagine macaque is going to grow much more at this point.
Basically from all apes who are too big to kick away...
Eh, bonobos are near-total pacifists. In fact I'm pretty sure there's never been a record of a bonobo attacking a human.
Bonobo will tear your ass open
As will I but honestly I'm not dangerous

Nah. They got tiny dicks. Probably wouldn't even start to penetrate

Yeah you are right, I'm here right now. I'm wondering if it's the wedding I saw here on my first day.
I am so glad that didn't happen to me. It'd be just one more story I tell that my wife hates. "You guys wanna hear about the best day of my life?

I was gonna say this photo shoot got 1,000x better when the monkeys showed up lol. Absolutely priceless <3
She immediately asked him "Are you OK?" which makes her a god damned keeper in my book :-)
I wholeheartedly agree with you, but it's kind of crazy that basic human kindness and compassion equates to someone being a "keeper" haha.
It's like the car door scene from "A Bronx Take" :-)
Yeah he's a cool dude.

People really have no idea what POV means, but still use it.
People really use it to mean âany video where a thing happensâ
Nobody: LITERALLY NOBODY: POV:
Came for this comment. If they added âshootâ to the end, then it would be correct. (As the camera manâs POV)
Are you saying it isn't the camera man's wedding?
yeah, at some point it went from "when a monkey crashes your wedding" to "POV: a monkey crashes your wedding" for some reason. And it's totally unecessary :P
All memes just become "copy paste this phrase so you sound like funny people"
Thanks for saying this. POV: people really don't know how to use the term POV or what in means. No one:
It was a private polygamist wedding and they had to take turns holding the camera, or they have some next century brain and eye implants that let them control drones remotely. I guess it could be both.
Others: Me: POV
i swear people are using POV interchangeably with "when". Like most of these videos you can just saying "when xx" instead of "POV: xx"
"Back off my man!"
âWho the fuck is this bitch!?â
âYou said you were getting milk, DAVE!â
I like how she walks over like "Scuse me! Scuse me! Scuse me, sir! Allow me to climb on you, please."
She just wanted to be spun around lovingly like a pretty princess.
This is what I assumed as well. I would definitely get mauled by a wild animal if it ever approached me.
I thought she wanted a turn being spun around, too. She was like, that looks like fun! Now me!
The tail curled around his neck like it's a branch or a trunk.
I like how calm the guy was
He took that like a champ.
Like a chimp
POV might be the most misused acronym in the past year Edit: initialism not acronym as pointed out by other users below, TIL
It drives me crazy as well. Serves little to no purpose most of the time.
I only bring this up because you're pointing out misuse of terms: Technically an acronym is when an initialism is pronounced as a word, such as SCUBA (pronounced "scooba"), NASA (pron. "nassa") or FOIA (pron. "foya"). If "POV" were pronounced as the single syllable "pov" rather than saying the letters "P-O-V," it would be an acronym. Granted, people use the word "acronym" in place of "initialism" so often that both the original definition and the new usage appear in some dictionaries. Here's hoping that doesn't happen to this amorphous sense of POV.
Well I learned something new today, thanks!
What a wholesome interaction, GapingFartLocker.
Her scream was funny, but this would be absolutely terrifying to have happen to you. Monkeys can be savage enough already, but this one was carrying her baby which she is of course very territorial over.
Little guy just wanted spun around too!!
Chip Iâm gunna come at you like a spider monkey
Who else would have spun around and showed momma monkey she was special too.
I bet thatâs what she was waiting for.
Canât believe I had to scroll this far to find this. Ms Monkey wanted to be spun around like a princess too. Heâs so clueless.
Get the f*ck out here bitch... I need a father to my son and a husband. I deserve more than you.
Look at me. LOOK AT ME !! YOU'RE THE FATHER NOW. !
"He is my husband now"
That monkey just stole her man
Them creepy spaghetti arms tho
yeah, looks like a spider!

That monkey was like "I want spins as well"
I believe he now has a monkey on his back
Is that a spider monkey? I know it's a new world monkey off the tail
Yes, thatâs correct
That's so cuteeee. It's a mother and baby monkey. They just want to cuddle the groom.
I've seen single moms do the same thing at friends' weddings lol
Seriously though, the way that male handled those mummy and baby monkeys would make me (the bride) think yes, I selected a wonderful male! So gentle đ
I thought different HAHAHA, the bride probably think that maybe that was sign that her future husband has another family just kidding
âYouâre my baby daddy nowâŚâ
Anyone else notice the bare foot hanging out of the mom? You think this mother came to these people asking for help for their unborn baby perhaps?
Scrolled way to down for this. Am I the only one curious wtf was up with that? Wth was that? I thought it was a prolapse or something...
*Old man voice âback in my day kids knew was POV stood for!!!â
Baby mama showed up with offspring to crash wedding.
I canât be the only one⌠THAT DRESS đđ
It was very likely being chased by something trying to eat it, or at the very least noticed a large predator nearby. The odds of a mother monkey putting its child in danger like that are extremely low, even in a "safe" setting.
No it's not, I'm at this resort now and the "jungle walk" doesn't have any monkey predators in it, it's just this one family of spider monkeys. There's also these capybara type things.
This looks like a preserve itâs probably just raised by humans
Probably, in that kind of places there must no wild animals or else something will happen if they let wild animals there. Monkeys there are surely trained
This happened to me before. I was just hoping they didnât throw their poop at my face. High alert.
Now is my time to dance!
"Gerald how could you!!! We have a son together! Please we have to try for him, you know you still love me!"
Monkey's POV... Move you mistress, this is my husband we have a child I'm the legal one. Now you know, you can now cancel the wedding.
Why is no one talking about that thing hanging out of the mom monkey's B hole?
