SINGAPORE — It was indeed a monkey business for a dusky langur caught on camera ripping a vehicle’s side mirror to stare at its reflection. The monkey had jumped on top of a parked Honda and examined the items inside the vehicle before selecting a souvenir.
Facebook user Maggie Lim photographed the incident and shared it on the Wildlife of Central Catchment Nature Reserve page. She noted that the crepuscular langur sighting also attracted several curious people.
“It didn’t take long for it to leave its mark with a ripped left mirror! I hope your car insurance is up to date; I am sorry this happened,” Ms Lim wrote.
The dusky langur finally jumped out of the vehicle with the mirror like a mask on his face.
The monkey perched on a nearby tree and had more privacy to admire its own reflection.
At first the mirror was facing the wrong way, but the monkey figured things out and turned it around, revealing its reflection.
A netizen said in an update that the Honda driver was aware of the incident. “Another driver helped her put the mirror back. All is well, and thanks for that great shot.
This isn’t the first time a dusky langur has been mesmerized by its beautiful reflection.
One was caught staring at himself in a public restroom mirror, unfazed by the person taking pictures of the sighting. /TISG
