That was certainly true in the case of one young couple traveling through Vietnam when they spotted a tiny baby monkey on the side of the road. This monkey promptly went over to them, hopped on their motorcycle, and started hugging this couple. Essentially, this little guy was demanding that they take him with them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">At one point, he even fell asleep on their laps when they took him for a little ride down the road. To say that this little darling is beyond precious is an understatement. At one point, they tried to let this little guy go, giving him a banana, which he took into the jungle with him, but when they started to drive off, he reemerged from the bushes and chased after them. Clearly, this little monkey has chosen these people to be his family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Viewers on social media had a lot to say about this one. Some people were of the opinion that this couple should permanently stay in Vietnam so that they can look after this precious baby monkey: \u201cYou can\u2019t leave him, but also you can\u2019t really take him with you. So, your only real option at that point is to change your whole life and live there forever for his sake. I don\u2019t make the rules, sorry, bro.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Related: Monkey \u2018Adopting\u2019 Tiny Orange Kitten Is Total Cuteness Overload<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While some social media users stated that they would permanently move there if this happened to them: \u201cTo be honest, I feel I am such a sucker if this happened to me, I would need to move there.\u201d And some viewers felt that this baby monkey had chosen them, so they should not leave him: \u201cThe baby chose you, don\u2019t leave him!\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">How This Situation Has Evolved<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"A cute baby monkey climbing on a tree limb.Image via Shutterstock&amp;sol;AbhishekMittal\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/QiaYBdHNPkaXxf2H3sPPVA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/pethelpful_915\/166ba92026919adc7cf5098f5ee27bad\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<div style=\"max-height:none;overflow:visible\">\n<p>A cute baby monkey climbing on a tree limb.Image via Shutterstock&amp;sol;AbhishekMittal<\/p>\n<p><span>(Image via Shutterstock&amp;sol;AbhishekMittal)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">According to this follow-up video, which you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reels\/DWnxX5mExui\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:watch by clicking the link here;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;watch by clicking the link here&quot;}\" class=\"link \">watch by clicking the link here<\/a>, this couple has checked in with various animal resource organizations in Vietnam, but has yet to receive any response from them about what to do with this baby monkey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">They did eventually leave this baby monkey in the spot where they found him, and later went back to this place to see how he was doing.
