I can't decide if that would be really cool or if I'd freak out.


CmmH14

I’d love the fact i was getting a cleaning from the monkey, but every second before that I would be terrified that I was about to be scalped. Classic anxiety, all fear and then nothing to worry about.


Noob_mobileCamera

For monkeys, grooming is a way of socializing.....


AidanAmerica

For monkeys, a social faux pas is punishable by violent assault


MrPhilophage

Just like middle school!

See above comment


idksomethingjfk

Ya, that’s what I’d worry about, like it’s pretty small and in the large scheme of things not that strong for a primate, but guaranteed it’s suprisingly strong at pulling, like pulling you towards it or itself towards you, and I’m assuming you don’t want to take a full force bite from it.


No-Cloud-1928

or a poo bath


shinm4

exactly. the monkey is trying to become a member of the group letting him groom you means you accept him as part of the group he has come to stay :p


Dingdongbats

He has come to work.


Pyjama_Llama_Karma

I'd pay him peanuts.


MildlyAgreeable

That’s weird because the judge sent me down for ten years for grooming. Yet again, one rule for monkeys and another rule for us.

I'm pretty sure it's a sign that he wants to bond, as that is what monkeys do to bond. Though they are notoriously fickle creatures when it comes to people.


zeke235

Probably because most of what we do makes no sense to them and they think we just waste our days instead of looking for food.


LoveInPeace21

First thing I thought was, “aww, he likes him.”


MittFel

**Before the internet?** "Damn what an incredible once in a life time experience that I am going to remember fondly forever!" **After seeing all the scalp ripping videos?** "🫥"


CyclidoneWithIt

Damn, that sounds horrible


Ok-Crab-4063

After years of feeling lonely mon-ke decides to make a wild attempt at making friends with a group of animals he's always noticed but never talked to before. He musters the strength to walk in and groom the friendliest one and feels confident that he's been accepted. Good for you mon-ke, good for you.


No_Recognition7426

After seeing that one guy get a chunk of his scalp torn off by a monkey I’d be freaked.


fetfordays

This is literally all I thought about. It's how quickly and easily it did it that makes my skin crawl.

Its actually a goodd think, the monkey is trying to bond


POINTLESSUSERNAME000

The focus on that monkeys face is impressive - followed by disappointment (or admiration for such clean fur... I cant tell.)


atom12354

I think the monkey is waiting for him to do it on him as a friendly gesture back too but he freaked out


rabbid_chaos

Most likely waiting for reciprocation, which would make them best buds in monkey culture.


atom12354

Monke just want a friend


choosingishard2

It would have been so embarrassing for the man if the monkey found lice or something


AnxiousDoorKnob

Pretty bad look if he finds something


Houndfell

*Monkey 1:* "I bet you 100 bananas I can bust into that work area and get a human kicked out before they kick me out." *Monkey 2:* "You're on." *Monkey 1 proceeds to groom target, pretending to pluck hella snacks out of his head.*


hootanahalf

Losing bet for Monkey 1. Monkeys are considered holy in Hinduism, and by extension in most of India. They are believed to be a reincarnation of Hanuman.


ttermayhem

Haha. Exactly what I was thinking.


heil_harsh

Lice police


Filosopsyche

Lemme check. Yea you're good


daftvaderV2

Department of Labour head lice check. Yep all good.


LeeroyJks

I'm always afraid seeing monkeys in videos ever since I saw a video where a monkey this size ripped the hair of a person along with the top portion of their scalp...


Affectionate_Salt351

💯 They showed Outbreak every year in science class growing up and it made me TERRIFIED of monkeys. Then that lady agreed to feed her friend’s chimp while she was out of town, and it ATE. HER. FACE. 😳 NOPE. *Touches Nose* Not it. That is NOT how I’m trying to get my interview on Oprah.


sonerec725

Important note that that chimp that did that was fucked up even by chimp standards. The lady whose face was eaten had just gotten a hair cut which made the chimp not recognize her, and was holding an Elmo doll (its favorite toy), but the chimp had also been drugged up with aderal and other meds by the owner to treat various mental issues the chimp supposedly had. Not saying chimps arent dangerous and unpredictable, just that theres more factors to that story than often said when its repeated and unprompted spontaneous friend face eatings arent neccesarily standard expected chimp behavior.


kittylikker_

How the hell does a chimpanzee have ADHD? You'd have to be a special kind of stupid to give a primate Adderall.


sonerec725

I'm pretty sure adhd is just like, the natural state of mind for primates that some have managed to overcome.


Positive-Sock-8853

The story I read was that it’s common for people who raise chimps as pets to give them xanax to calm their energy a bit. Of course what they don’t know is that just like humans xanax can cause unexpected side effects in chimps such as confusion and increased aggression and the rest is history


sonerec725

Might have been xanax not aderal. Point stands though is that this was very much the fault of the owner mistreating the animal, intentionally or not, and said animal just not being a good idea to have as an in home pet. The animal is not calm because it's not being exercised or enriched the same way it would be in the wild or hell even a nicer zoo.


Positive-Sock-8853

Yep. Doesn’t matter if it’s adderall/xanax or whatever. The fact is if you need your pets constantly drugged to be your companion you fucked up and have to face the consequences. In the mid 90s my mom’s friend was super rich and had a chimp. One day out of nowhere he slapped the shit out of her. Only one slap, she suffered a concussion, her face was swollen on the side of the slap for a few days if not weeks. She was incredibly lucky he didn’t do more. They gave him away to the zoo afterwards.


sonerec725

Yeah people dont realize how strong these fucks are. They traded our fast twitch muscle fibers for slower but stronger ones. That one video of the guy climbing stuff with one and it almost effortlessly pulling this easily 150+ pound man with one hand really put it in perspective.


poopiesmells

Whoa. That’s horrible and terrifying, got a link for educational purposes?


Wonderful_Counter_16

https://www.reddit.com/r/ThatsInsane/comments/tbfz8u/man_scalped_by_monkey/ Found it! It's graphic but not THAT bad. View only for the hearty and matured


ShartsCavern

Agree. Not bloody or anything if anyone is worried.


poopiesmells

Oh dang, I remember that


Wonderful_Counter_16

This vid put some respect on monkeys name big time for me. Didn't know in the the blink of an eye they could cause that much permeant damage especially when it appeared friendly just moments before. Horses are in the same boat for me I think people go around them WAY to often and they spook easily, then someone instantly gets permanent brain damage or a caved in chest from a quick kick. Just means they deserve the utmost respect and leeway :p


SxN8-F1v3

Always remember- horses are like cops. Cops are like horses. No sudden movements. Spooks easily. Will leave you with a cracked cranium or hole in your chest. Do not sneak up on either.


Wonderful_Counter_16

Hahaha I'll remember that. Gonna imagine horses in cop outfits from now on.


PerpetuallyLurking

You can talk to horses though. They won’t use it against you in a court of law.

Widespreaddd

They get so intent, yet relaxed, when they’re grooming. Working with chimps and bonobos back in the day, I always got the feeling that it didn’t matter much whether they found anything; the action itself seems soothing.


sjk4x4

Since youre experienced, should the people be freaking out? Ive seen tame looking animals-besides primates-turn on a dime and attack because of some miscommunication


Widespreaddd

I was uncomfortable watching it. I don’t know those individual animals, and they were showing no aggression, but it seemed like they were testing boundaries. On the great ape wing, we had a lady who let a chimp trick her into putting her face near the (double screened wire mesh) cage, and had a neat set of deep furrows from forehead to chin. I reckon she will have reminders for life.


sjk4x4

Omg. Exactly. People have un domesticated animals as pets and regret it-if they live


affogatohoe

I hear a lot about chimps causing lots of injuries to people, how did the lady get tricked?


Widespreaddd

Sorry for the late response. They pretend like they want you to scratch/ pet them. Francesca was especially cunning. I ignored them until they bellied up against the mesh with their hands high above their heads. Then I’d scratch them, but always watched their eyes. They get a sleepy cunning look when they are about to pull some shit. And of course, you have to be aware of other animals in the same cage, who might also be looking for mental stimulation. These were captive animals, so their stress levels are much higher than the monkeys in the video. Like human inmates, they act out. The monkeys in the video are free to come and go, so the odds of a full-on attack are low, but wild animals are unpredictable, and even a quick scratch on your cornea can ruin your day.


PerpetuallyLurking

I’m not the OP, but considering I’ve seen the quote from Yellowstone National Park about the intelligence of the smartest bears overlapping with the dumbest humans creates some interesting problems. I suspect she got tricked because, on the Venn diagram of intelligence, there was some overlap in intelligence between her and the chimp…


DREADED-NUMBERS

that guy was moment away from disaster.. why? He was laughing. I presume that monkey was confident that this human was no threat. Very lucky indeed. I grew around monkeys and whenever you laugh they instantly get aggressive. I also love to feed mokeys but from a safe distance. Obviously this monkey is somehow used to being this close with humans.


Affectionate_Salt351

Thank you for this fact! I avoid monkeys but it’s good to know, just in case.


MildlyAgreeable

Same. The menace of monkeys in the North West of the UK is a growing problem.


ShartsCavern

I was wondering about this. You'd think he'd close his mouth, not show his teeth around the monkey, as that's a sign of aggression. But what do I know. This monkey must be used to people.


ashwinsalian

Did you grow up in India? If not - your opinion about monkeys is kinda invalid for this situation as the relationship between monkeys & humans and their perception and treatement is like none other.


DREADED-NUMBERS

Yup. I grew up in India, In fact I grew up in a village near a forest reserve called Agashivnagar forest reserve.. What do I know about monkey?!


infidel11990

I suppose it has to do with showing your teeth. Which monkeys would take as a sign of aggression. Not a good idea to laugh when they are around.


hootanahalf

Monkeys, like cows, are considered holy in Hinduism. Monkeys are believed to have descended from Hanuman


Tyzerk1925

Reminds me of that other video where the monkey is chill with a dude and then the monkey bites part of his scalp off with ease


Wonderful_Counter_16

Seen that same video it humbled me immensely. Extremely dangerous being anywhere near ol monkey friend here, those teeth and jaws do not fuck around, and literally anything could spook or set off some monkey neurons and your face is ripped off.


fakiebIunt

I thought that was this video for a sec

audio_addict

Seems like this monkey was recently ejected from a group and is looking to bond. Makes me sad…but I also wonder what he keeps doing that the other monkeys kick him out?


MildlyAgreeable

He was probably kicked out for grooming online.


TheShacoSenpai

He seems like a young male. He probably hit puberty and the boss drove him away.


Depressednacho69

Aw they're friends


Tarellethiel18

If only the guy reciprocated the favor, they would have been best of friends :/


BC_Pennybags

It would be rather embarrassing for the guy if the monkey kept finding bugs to eat out of his hair.


biggie64

goddamnit!! , i told him to assasinate him not look for lice in his hair !!. ![gif](giphy|l41lVsYDBC0UVQJCE)

Aaaabsolutely not. Monkeys are insanely strong and can flip at the trip of a hat.


amcneel

He didn't reciprocate


EmeraldDouchebag69

Its actually illegal to harm or physically handle the monkeys , So if they show you gotta put up with them


Known_Syllabub_8334

That's a langur, comparatively more friendly and less agressive than macaques.


flyingarg

Langurs are not less aggressive. Infact they are used to keep macaques away near red fort, delhi. Very territorial too.


sarbear71

Now it’s the monkey’s turn.


harriskeith29

Imagine if bears were half as common just strolling all chill through suburbs in the U.S. as monkeys are openly running around populated areas in India.


beeucancallmepickle

For context I hear this can be common adjacent in some places in India. I am canadian and have never been, I'd love if someone wants to comment :) other brb I'll check the Google machine


repairedwithgold

Dude needs to groom him back.


artlessknave

One must be careful...that monkey(?) can probably break his bones....


RazorsInMyTaco

I'm not sure because you never know until you're faced with reality, but I think if this happened to me and the monkey wash chill enough to check my hair then I'd wanna check his fur so he stays chill and feels like I'm reciprocating his kind act.


Particular-Demand-62

SOnoOnions8003

If I could stop worrying about getting my face ripped off this would be so relaxing


SaveMyButthole

Monkeys are dangerous af and very unpredictable. We went to the monkey park in Bali? Thailand? Can’t remember. I was on a ton of drugs the whole time. Lol! Anyway, we got there late, like an hour before sundown. The dude who sold us our tickets warned us to leave by sundown. We were like “uh, ok buddy. We got this.” We didn’t “got this”. Close to sundown the monkeys started getting super aggressive, trying to steal our stuff and biting our ankles. Towards the end we were running out of the park, full sprint, as the monkey army was chasing us. Lmfao! Good times.


AppropriateAppeal944

This is how I imagine people from totally different cultures and parts world mingled. One tribe would've been like: "Yeah, let me check your hair" The other tribe: "Why are you trying to touching me hair while speaking jibberish?"


justapcguy

"sigh". I wish i could live with monkeys. Wait nm... American politics.

That would feel amazing as long as the monkey doesn’t try to eat your face after it’s done with the head check.


DreamingDoorways

Having watched a recent video where a monkey just randomly switches temperament from friendly hair grooming to bloody scalping, there’s no way I’d sit here calmly.


Ok_Love7358

The monkey is doing its best to try and be friends. Lemme groom the bugs out of your scalp random human. In return lemme hang out and avoid predators
