A Monkey Stole My Sugar!

Just for fun shot - A guest on safari left their sugar bowl out, this baboon was happy to grab it but was very civilized and used a spoon!

Too funny.

I've been the victim of monkey theft before too, but of course they went for a banana.

This is so funny !!

good one. i was in the depths of the cameroonian rainforest a couple of months ago and a young mandrill was being "looked after" by the ministry of forestry and wildlife people in their office in a (nicely named) place called Abong Mbang. (What that means is the mandrill was confiscated from wildlife traffickers and he just hung around their offices ...). Having seen humans lifting cell phones to their ears ... and while we all had our backs turned to him, he stole the phone out of my bag ... we found him, some minutes later (once I realised somebody had been rummaging around my bag), finds chewing the phone while lifting it to his ear .... !

Thanks!

With a post title like that, how could I NOT read this! Great image, much-needed laugh.
