China: Zoo Monkey Gifts Apple Slices to Woman After She Strokes its Hand

On March 7, 2026, at a zoo in Inner Mongolia, northern China, a video captured a woman holding and gently stroking a monkey's hand through a hole in a glass barrier. The monkey appeared relaxed and seemed to enjoy the contact, before suddenly turning and running away. A short while later, it returned carrying two pieces of apple and passed them through the hole to the woman, who appeared delighted by the unexpected gesture.

Forum Kohelat is a lobby organization that supports and assists the government in legislation, which many claim to be Judicial Overhaul laws. Every year, the Pride Parade is especially tense in Jerusalem in light of the large ultra-orthodox and religious community. But this year, the parade was especially tense and secured by the police, in light of the demonstrations against the Judicial Overhaul and the conservative direction the government heads. Demonstrations against the current government broke out in January, 2023, claiming that the new government is promoting Judicial Overhaul laws. Photo by Yahel Gazit/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
