That was all the opportunity that the sneaky zoo resident needed, as when she came back to the office and checked her phone she was surprised to find confirmation messages for orders for items she had never intended to buy. Mengmeng could not even locate the items she has previously saved in her cart. An obviously puzzled Mengmeng decided to check the CCTV footage in order to make head or tails of what happened. As it turns out, the culprit was right under her nose the whole time.
The monkey, who has grown up in her care was caught on tape sneaking up to the phone and fidgeting with it during his keeper's absence since Mengmeng frequently orders items online the monkey had no problems ordering items in its keeper's stead.
Mengmeng later told the local media that she did not cancel the orders placed by the monkey as they were all in fact items of necessity.
