New Delhi: As the world struggles to lead a 'normal life' with the coronavirus pandemic, wearing masks has become a part and parcel of everyone's life. So much so that even the animals co-habiting the planet have grown accustomed to a mask and know exactly what to do with it.

A video uploaded on the internet by Rex Chapman is a wonderful example of the same. In the 27-second long video, a monkey was wondering on the streets, is seen stopping when it comes across a mask. Interestingly, without waiting a beat, the mammal puts it on its face and struts on the street once again.
