This hilarious and cute video captures a very relatable monkey moment—a young baby monkey showing a bit of attitude! As an older female monkey (possibly an “auntie” figure) reaches out, the baby suddenly reacts in a dramatic and funny way, as if saying: “Oh no, Aunt! Don’t touch me—I don’t like you!”
With facial expressions full of sass and hands batting away any attempts at cuddles or grooming, the baby clearly wants to be left alone. Maybe it’s nap time, maybe it’s mood swings, or maybe the aunt is just a little too much today. Either way, this interaction is adorable, funny, and shows just how expressive and social monkeys really are.
Monkeys, like humans, have personalities. Some love attention, some are shy, and others—like this little one—have big feelings and aren’t afraid to show them! These moments of social interaction and boundary-setting are not only funny but also very telling of how emotionally intelligent these animals can be.
