The monkey then brings its right hand to its nose for a closer smell.
After realizing that the fruit did leave an odor on its hand, the monkey quickly tries to wipe it on the tree stump and smell it again to check if the stench was gone.
According to the South China Morning Post, other animals also showed their disapproval of the “King of Fruit.”
Many humans also don’t like the smell of durian. Some people try to record themselves eating the fruit as part of a challenge, while others simply run away from the odor.
