As evidenced in a viral TikTok video recently, a little monkey was spotted searching plastic bags on pickup truck, which lends credence to the above statement.
If you’re still not sure on whether this thesis is true, here’s another video of an old monkey found enjoying a human’s dish during his lunch.

Translation: Why didn’t you find him a spoon to eat soup? LOL
Glossing over netizens’ concern over the monkey’s health, one viewer jokingly suggested that the OP should have helped to find the monkey a spoon so that he could eat the soup.
Hope the monkey enjoyed its meal
These viral stories could contribute to evidence that monkeys do exhibit behavioral parallels to their human counterparts. It’s indeed an interesting theory to consider.
Anyway, we hope that the monkey enjoyed its dish, and is still healthy after the meal.
