China: Monkeys Admire Their Reflections on Glossy Car in Ganzi, Sichuan

On March 2, 2026, in Ganzi, Sichuan province, a video recorded several monkeys gathering around a black car parked nearby. The car’s surface was so clean and glossy that it reflected like a mirror. The monkeys stood close to the doors and panels, looking at their reflections. Some shifted positions as if checking different angles, using the car body like a full-length mirror. One monkey climbed onto the roof and stayed there, appearing to look down at its own reflection from above.

China: Monkeys Surround Traffic Officer in Shanghai Nature Reserve

On October 2, 2024, in Shanghai, located in eastern China, a video recorded a humorous yet helpless moment at a nature reserve. A traffic officer stood by the roadside when several monkeys swaggered toward him. One bold monkey reached out and grabbed the officer deliberately. Seeing no resistance, the rest of the monkeys grew braver and surrounded him. Some even attempted to scratch or poke him lightly. As protected animals, the officer couldn’t retaliate and simply waited patiently for the troop to lose interest and move on. The amusing standoff left many Chinese viewers laughing at the monkeys’ confidence and the officer’s resigned expression.
