What took place

A shadowy person could be seen swimming in circles while submerged in the water in the 10-second video. Then the creature – a monkey, it turns out – emerges from the tub and reveals itself by blinking innocently at the camera.

With a chain around its neck, it appears to be someone's pet.

Responses

The activities of the monkey struck a chord with many of the TikTok viewers.

"He is aware of the heat," a user said.

Others expressed similar sentiments to the monkey over the intense heat and expressed hopes that the primate had recovered from its bath.

Some claimed that when the monkey was first submerged in the water, they mistakenly believed it to be a fish or stingray.
