While the government has made face-covering mandatory, a video of a monkey wrapping a piece of cloth around his head has left internet users in splits. The short clip initially started circulating last year, however, IFS Officer Susanta Nanda shared the video with a renewed significance amid coronavirus pandemic. Nanda in the caption also wrote that the monkey covered his face after seeing headscarf being used as masks. 

In the 14-second-clip, one can see a monkey examining a piece of cloth. After looking at it carefully, the ‘intelligent animal’ then flings the cloth onto his head and wraps it around his neck in a hilarious gesture. He can also be seen walking around while wearing the ‘face-covering’ and, on the other hand, his ‘friends’ can be seen watching him in total amusement.
