In Brazil, staff at a golf course were surprised to find a monkey sitting at a desk in the office, holding a pen and reviewing documents as if it had been working diligently for a while. A viral video shows the Capuchin monkey going through paperwork in the office at Rio Olympic Golf Course one morning, astonishing the employees.
The monkey was seen flipping through notebooks, making corrections with a pen, and appearing completely engrossed in its work. It continued to focus on its tasks even when someone entered the room.
The golf course is located near a nature reserve where wild animals like capybaras often roam, so the staff are accustomed to unexpected visits from wildlife. However, they were still amazed by the monkey’s behavior.
Eventually, the staff lured the monkey out of the office with fruits to return it to its natural habitat. Some internet users jokingly suggested hiring the monkey at the golf course, while others humorously lamented the possibility of losing their jobs to it.
Similar incidents of monkeys flipping through documents in offices have occurred before, notably in Uttar Pradesh, India, where a video capturing such an event circulated widely online. According to a report by the UK’s Daily Star, a law firm in Uttar Pradesh witnessed a monkey sitting at a desk, oblivious to the surroundings, as it perused documents. Even when offered a banana and help with peeling it, the monkey remained focused on its task.
The monkey seemed to grasp the content of the documents it was reading before casually walking into the hallway, adding an even stranger twist to the already peculiar moment.
