Paula Manzanal, Peruvian model and photographer, attempted to snap a quick shot with the monkey.
During a trip to Bali’s Ubud Monkey Forest, Manzanal got up close and personal with the monkey to get the photo – who instead, tried to pull down her strapless top.
The long-tailed macaque didn’t reveal the chest of Miss Peru. But it quickly resorted to violence, hissing, and slapping Manzanal.
She smiled disbelievingly and later switched to TikTok, which wrote: “I just didn’t want it to touch me.”
The footage was viral, and there is one saying that it did. “He definitely knows what he’s doing haha.”
TikToker also added another member: “I didn’t want to laugh but it did make me laugh; the good thing is that it didn’t bite you.”

However, others pointed out the dangers and one said the model should be grateful it didn’t bite.
“It could hurt your eye, be very careful with the little animals; they get scared and react like that. I hope you are fine,”A second copy was also penned.
“I think his little fingernail got caught, and he must have thought that they wanted to tie him up, and he got scared,”They theorized.
Another monkey, located across the pond from California, became a viral sensation by stealing a phone at Conservation Ambassadors Zoo, and calling 911.
Route, a Capuchin monkey, had apparently found the phone in a golf car. This left emergency workers confused as they couldn’t connect to the call.
“Monkeys are very inquisitive and will grab anything and everything and just start pushing buttons,”The police posted their Facebook comments.
“And that’s what Route did… just so happened it was in the right combination of numbers to call us.”
