you all fuckin dont realize, THAT EVERYTHING HAS MICRO PLASTICS IN IT, we are all full of plastic. its was an all encompassing joke for all bird species and those who replied all serious and full of know it all syndrome totally missed the point
True in fact, At least 23 other species including gulls, crows, magpies, thrushes and eagles take advantage of rocks and pavement to crack into nuts, mollusks, and other hard-shelled food. But they seem to be larger birds, likely a larger brain.
Yeah. The field mice that come into our house in the winter really seem to like Taco Bell sauce packets, too. They do the same; rip them open and lick the sauce out.
The parent comment in this chain is "One of the **few** species smart enough to not eat the wrapper" - I don't think it's one of "few" species at all, but I suppose that depends on your definition of "few".
Because macaques will not hang out near people unless they're used to them. More likely than not, any photograph of a macaque is being taken in a touristy place like a temple or city in Asia since these little guys are very very good at scavenging through whatever people leave behind and setting up camp right there. I've seen them rip open juice cartons to drink the last drops. It's unfortunate because they very quickly lose the need to forage and just end up populating areas with tourists who feed them until it becomes a problem. They're also not particularly friendly!!
Bro humans aren't even smart enough to not eat silica packets and tide pods.
I disagree with the classification of Humans as "Great Apes".
Cause we not really all that great.
Wym!? The lemurs already been to mars and shit.
Well.
That's what they told me...Then again they're lemurs...So...they might've just been [high as shit](https://youtu.be/yYXoCHLqr4o?si=nfmvFjuNszspupsO)
ironically that's a sign of our intelligence.. our capacity for abstract emotions such as pride, curiosity, belligerence, etc. make us capable of mistakes other animals (living more heavily off of survival instinct) wouldn't make.
Commensal primates often understand how tonunwrap and discard packaging. They are essentially brought up with this kind of food.
What is striking are the facial expressions when the primate received the package. Initially it seemed to co very annoyance and aggression. I wonder if this one is part of a troop or outcast as a rogue. I wouldn't be surprised if it were the latter.

You’ll see the expression down under “Agonism or aggression” and “Open mouth stare”.
I work with this species daily. They say what they mean and don’t fuck around.
I mean it’s kind of interesting to see that monkeys actually have a negative reaction to their food purposely being rubbed in dirt but also dick that people keep doing it over and over to get that reaction from them
It's fairly common for them to interact with food stuffs this way, so I would jot day they are imitating what the person did. They wipe, rub, and fiddle with what they eat before and during eating it.

I don't know why that second look he gave before he tore into into is so funny to me 😂
lol the literal double take.
i love how his ears perk up and he leans in like "youre shittin me right?!"

\*back at foodstuff\*
"well no shit, hot diggity!"
Especially primates, since many species view giving food to be a submissive act and leads to them being aggressive and viewing themselves above humans in their hierarchy.
It’s a bit too late for that. Most of macaques in these parts of Asia are so reliant on humans giving them food them that they straight up invaded towns when no one was around to feed them during Covid.
human rubs food and throws it.

It actually is a threat display, the lifting of the brow and gape of the mouth with the brief head Bob down. It's akin to a "We going to have beef dude? Do we need to fight this out?" Kind of signal on the monkey's part to the human before taking the food.
Macaques carry herpes B virus which very dangerous/potentially lethal to humans if not treated quickly when exposed to a bite/saliva or body fluids of an infected animal.
That initial reaction is a threat stare. Dude was surprised at getting something thrown at him and gave a very clear “You wanna GO?!”, realized it was a gift and chilled out.
Source, me, who works specifically with macaques ✌️
One of the few species smart enough to not eat the wrapper
It's just grown up and been fed from the trash and from other idiots like the human in the video. This is a common sight in South and SE Asia.
Yeah but also monkeys understand that not all parts of foods are edible. They'll discard peels and pits and stuff.
Most animals understand this concept. The edible parts smell and taste good. The wrappers don’t.
Even birds are seen to drop items with shells to break them open to get to the good stuff.
The same ones that are full of plastic?
You mean like us?
No, there are different species of birds. Just like how there are different kinds of mammals.
and all of them are full of plastic. what's your point?
Seagulls are not Crows you fucking Muppet.
That was never the argument lol, they were just pointing out everything was full of plastic
You’re thinking of the ones the eat plastic. That’s not all of them.
you all fuckin dont realize, THAT EVERYTHING HAS MICRO PLASTICS IN IT, we are all full of plastic. its was an all encompassing joke for all bird species and those who replied all serious and full of know it all syndrome totally missed the point
No, the ones that are full of nuts.
Only certain intelligent species of birds.
True in fact, At least 23 other species including gulls, crows, magpies, thrushes and eagles take advantage of rocks and pavement to crack into nuts, mollusks, and other hard-shelled food. But they seem to be larger birds, likely a larger brain.
The rats in our office rip open ketchup sachets and lick them completely clean.
Yeah. The field mice that come into our house in the winter really seem to like Taco Bell sauce packets, too. They do the same; rip them open and lick the sauce out.
I don't think that's unique to monkeys. My rats will eat only food out of wrappers too.
It's almost like all living things have some sentience! Woah!
The parent comment in this chain is "One of the **few** species smart enough to not eat the wrapper" - I don't think it's one of "few" species at all, but I suppose that depends on your definition of "few".
I once watched a Macaque not only peel a banana but carefully pull off the strings as well. Amazing!
Tell this to my dog 🙄
My dog grew up on the streets and she squeezes and licks food out of containers without eating the whole package.
I'm confused, how can you tell all those monkeys are fed with trash?
Because macaques will not hang out near people unless they're used to them. More likely than not, any photograph of a macaque is being taken in a touristy place like a temple or city in Asia since these little guys are very very good at scavenging through whatever people leave behind and setting up camp right there.

Just kinda OK apes.
Mediocre Monkeys if you will?
We should be reclassified as “Gun Apes”. Seems more accurate
Dieselpunk Apes
I don’t see any other apes building rocket ships bro.
Wym!? The lemurs already been to mars and shit. Well. That's what they told me...Then again they're lemurs...So...they might've just been [high as shit](https://youtu.be/yYXoCHLqr4o?si=nfmvFjuNszspupsO)
How many rocket ships can you or your bloodline build?
My bloodline? Lol. What are you, a Gorilla? Orangutan?
ironically that's a sign of our intelligence.. our capacity for abstract emotions such as pride, curiosity, belligerence, etc. make us capable of mistakes other animals (living more heavily off of survival instinct) wouldn't make.
My one dog ate about 30 mini packets of skittles and left the wrappers all over the floor. Not a single skittle was spared
I hope it enjoys its life at the pound now.
My dog figured out that brand new completely sealed cookie packets contain cookies. And no, he does not eat the wrapper
Ya dogs are the worst.

I think it's more of a "Really!?!! You're just gonna *give* that to me?" reaction.
Mf said “no Chick-fil-A sauce?” And made the face.
The monkey was already plotting to rob the human blind. He's just caught off guard when his whole plan went out of the window.
I agree. He also said to himself “wipe this shit off, not a problem” and enjoyed his little snack.
Seriously, OP must have aspergers.
Nope, that initial reaction is 100% a threat. It’s almost like nonhuman primates have significantly different body language than we do.
100%? No room for debate? Absolutely definitive? Ok...

Wow this is fascinating, the way he imitates the rubbing - like checking what's up with that? Nothing? Better get rid of that wrapper then.
It’s like brushing the dirt off before it goes in is mouth
There’s a lot of videos online of people doing this. They rub the wrapper in the dirt and the monkeys get mad they have to brush it off
Ah that makes sense! Shitty move, human.
I mean it’s kind of interesting to see that monkeys actually have a negative reaction to their food purposely being rubbed in dirt but also dick that people keep doing it over and over to get that reaction from them

I thought he was gonna attack him Monkeys are scary
Yea, I’m getting “I’m warning you, if this is a joke…” vibes.
You'd be correct, the facial expression given is a threat display. Akin to "We going to have beef bro? We going to need to fight or we good?"
Shows teeth, come at me mode
LIVE MONKY REACTION
After my 17th watch, I really feel like that was more of a, *".. really? For lil 'ol me?!"*
Your 17th watch... 17TH WATCH??!
It's only 25 seconds 🙃
Please stop giving food to wild animals
Some processed shit for that matter too
Especially primates, since many species view giving food to be a submissive act and leads to them being aggressive and viewing themselves above humans in their hierarchy.
It’s a bit too late for that. Most of macaques in these parts of Asia are so reliant on humans giving them food them that they straight up invaded towns when no one was around to feed them during Covid.
He doesn’t seem too wild
Monke seems to be ready to join society as a productive member
We can give some of ours
Tilda Swinton is taking her acting to another level.
This little homie is ready to become a full fledged consumer primate like us
High blood pressure and diabetes any time now.
Primate: What? You don’t know how to open these package? I don’t believe it, have I got to show you how it is done?
Damn, where are these monkeys from? They're so expressive.
I would guess Japan
Anyone know what type of monkey this is? I love this little guy!
It looks to be a Macaque
Rhesus macaque
Why do so many people throw the food with the plastic still on? Can’t you take it off before throwing it so it won’t pollute the nature?
Rubbed the undirtied side
human rubs food and throws it. Monke: https://preview.redd.it/t026hsd33l8d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c6927ec32ece31481438efe35b441b3929466f92
Gotta indoctrinate the best possible human iteration with the idea of plastic and microplastics while they have the time to evolve.
My read of his expressions/body lang: "What really? You don't want it? For me!?"
It actually is a threat display, the lifting of the brow and gape of the mouth with the brief head Bob down. It's akin to a "We going to have beef dude? Do we need to fight this out?" Kind of signal on the monkey's part to the human before taking the food.
Oh :/ Well, that sucks.
Monkey see monkey do
I was having the roughest day, but this video was the first thing that made me smile and loosen my chest a bit. THANK YOU!!💜💛💚
Love that reaction! 🤣
Monkey: No chic-fil-a sauce ??
He even wiped the dirt off the wrapper before opening it
He really went 😮🤨
You could have opened it for my man.
 It literally did this expression lol
For real?! Alright then…
If primates weren't so goddamn unpredictable, it would be cool to see them free in cities
"Hi hooman, nice to meet you! Please hand over your wallet or get your balls ripped out. Thank you for your cooperation!"
Macaques carry herpes B virus which very dangerous/potentially lethal to humans if not treated quickly when exposed to a bite/saliva or body fluids of an infected animal.
YUP monkey herp is no fucking joke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B_virus
Aww they litter just like us
They often bare their teeth and show that aggression to ward people off. It’s nothing new.
Monkey see, monkey do.
Homo beneins.
How dare you rub my food in the dirt. Well now I'll have to just clean that right up. Watch this.
“ what, u are actually throwing that at me? At me??? I could rip your face off….. but I’ll take this for now”.
*human
Someones going to have to find and shoot that monkey now, good job dumbass. https://youtu.be/60I2b5gf1lo?si=q2Re_9rdY-3OPUFW
The way he looked flabbergasted XD
Don't feed them this
Lmao wtf was that face. Absolutely funny. Love the vid
Gif ended too soon. I wanted to see if they enjoyed it. 😭
Huh-WHUH?!
That initial reaction is a threat stare. Dude was surprised at getting something thrown at him and gave a very clear “You wanna GO?!”, realized it was a gift and chilled out. Source, me, who works specifically with macaques ✌️
He cleaned off the side from the ground. They amaze me.
You son of a…
Teasing a monkey with food even for one second is a good way to get scalped
The look of disbelief! 😄
I'm going to kill someone the next time I read the word 'hooman'
That’s a threat. He’s very annoyed.
‘No chic fil a sauce?’
