Monkey swims at Jurong condo & shows off its abilities

He then smoothly glides underwater for a while before playfully rolling about in it.

 

After a short swim, he comes up for a breather.

As if suddenly realising he’s “trespassing” into the condominium, he makes furtive glances around, checking to see if anyone has seen him.

Seemingly satisfied that no one is after him, he ducks back down into the water.

That’s when the primate shows off his swimming prowess, swiftly kicking his legs and propelling himself forward.

Dries off on nearby tree

After a short swim, the monkey decides he’s had enough for the day and leaps up onto a rock, shaking himself dry.

He then nimbly makes his way up a tree.

Still dripping wet, he chills on a tree branch, cooling off from his exercise for the day.

Keep a safe distance

It must be fun to have such an adorable regular visitor at your residence.

Living alongside wildlife like monkeys is certainly fascinating, but do remember that they can be unpredictable.

So, if you catch sight of them, make sure to keep your distance and never leave food or your belongings lying around.

They are, after all, incredibly intelligent and sneaky creatures.
