MONKEY ENTERS SHOP IN INDIA, JUST WANTS A HUG

Original caption

A monkey was seen on CCTV footage entering a shop in India on Oct 22, but it didn’t take anything - except for hugs. But animal behaviourists have said this is usually driven by a desire for food, shelter, security, or behaviors learned from caretakers. If you encounter them, keep a safe distance and avoid eye contact, stay calm and quiet. #India #Monkey #Wildlife #Safety
