Monkeys are naughty and are frequently spotted stealing items from unsuspecting individuals in tourist areas. This is a common primatological behavior. However, it appears that this Bali monkey has taken that art a step further and learned how to bargain as well. A social media video shows a monkey not only stealing a woman’s phone but also demanding food from her in exchange for the gadget.

The footage was shared on the Instagram page of Bali Top Holiday, a tourist firm. The post’s description is written in Indonesian, and when translated to English, it implies that the monkey is involved in a “transaction.”

In the footage, a monkey is seen perched on top of a wall, holding a phone. In addition, a woman is seen standing in front of it. Soon after, the woman pulls a fruit from her tote bag and hands it to the monkey. That, however, is not enough. It is only when she offers over another apple to the monster that she get her phone back.
