A Malaysian man found monkey selfies and videos on his lost phone a day after finding it in the jungle behind his house.
Zackrydz Rodzi, a student in Batu Pahat, Malaysia, woke up to find his mobile phone missing.
Speaking to the BBC, Rodzi said he located his phone the following day after hearing it ring in a jungle area behind his house.
There were a series of blurred photos of the monkey, trees in the phone’s gallery.
The monkey also recorded a video and tried to eat the device.
Rodzi said he failed to find any trace of his phone until Sunday afternoon when his father noticed a monkey outside their house. He dialed his son’s number from his phone and heard a distant ringing in the jungle behind their back garden. He then found the phone under a palm tree, covered in mud.
The gallery had a few pictures of a monkey, peering down the lens with bright green foliage and birds in the background.
But it remained unclear exactly how the mobile went missing.
“Unlike some parts of the world where monkeys live in or near urban areas, there is no history of monkeys stealing things from houses in the local neighbourhood”, said the student. He suspects the monkey may have entered the house through his brother’s open bedroom window.
