Shocking Moment: Monkey Kidnaps a DOG and Leaps Across Rooftops With Terrified Animal In Its Arms
- last year
Footage from Parkota in India shows a small black and white dog being taken
Monkey jumped from roof to balcony and then out of sight while holding dog
Video footage filmed by a bystander shows several people standing on the road watching the monkey crawling on the roof of a red house with the helpless dog in his arms.
The monkey was seen looking around, while the dog repeatedly slipped from his grip.
The dog was flapping its legs as the monkey set it down on the roof for a second, only to grab it again and take off with his four-legged prey in his arms.
The thieving monkey jumped from the roof to an adjacent balcony while holding the dog tightly to its chest.
From the balcony the monkey took off to another building as onlookers can be heard laughing in the background.
Once he landed on the building, which looked like it was under construction and had metal poles on the roof, the monkey turned around one last time to look at his spectators.
he took the dog out of sight, the footage cut out.
What happened to the kidnapped dog after is unclear.
The monkey kidnapper is just one of many 'menaces' plaguing the city, locals said.
It isn't the only monkey who has caused chaos in India, as just a few weeks ago, a 70-year-old woman was killed after she was attacked by a pack of rampaging monkeys and slipped and hit her head on the floor as she was trying to escape them.
In 2020, a mother and four of her children were crushed to death at their home in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, after a wall was brought down by a troop of monkeys.
The five victims were killed by falling masonry after the wall was 'violently shaken' by monkeys while the family slept in the courtyard.
Also in the same year a monkey killed a 60-year-old man and injured nine others after going on the rampage through a town in central India.
In 2018, a 58-year-old woman suffered severe injuries and died after she was attacked by a monkey outside her home in Agra, Uttar Pradesh.
The black and white dog taken in Parkota isn't the first kidnapped by a monkey. In 2021, a two-week-old black and white puppy, now named Saru, was grabbed by the primate and taken to the top of an electricity post in Taman Lestari Putra, Malaysia on September 16.
