Throughout the KwaZulu-Natal Province, monkeys are as common as squirrels to the United States. Like squirrels, monkeys find comfort in neighborhood trees, community parks and in the presence of humans. However, monkeys are much more clever than squirrels as they often tease and steal food from humans. This may explain why each time that I ask locals about these clever animals; only one word is used to describe them, “naughty”.
Through the experiences of locals, I have learned of monkeys mocking human passersby as they stick their tongues out like mischievous children. While in other instances, monkeys have been reported to form mini monkey-gangs as they scout human crowds in order to find the opportune moment to pickpocket. Thankfully I personally have yet to encounter a naughty monkey. Although unfortunately for Janelle Linton, she has experienced her very own gang of monkeys… (too) up close and personal.
In the video below, Janelle describes her experience as she eats at
an outdoor café. Her friends have just completed their meal and left the table,
leaving her alone with her food and a dirty plate.
(PS: this is hilarious).
