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.
