College students given fright as monkey breaks into dorm

College students were given a fright - when they found a monkey had broken into their dormitory.

Footage shows the animal jumping around the room at Guiyang University in Guizhou Province, China.

The woman filming - named as Ms Lu - lives in the girls' dormitory.

She was about to leave when she turned around to see the uninvited guest had sat itself down on her chair and was staring at here.

Instead of fleeing as soon as it saw Ms Lu, the monkey stood its ground and took time wandering from bunk bed to bunk bed, playing and chewing on the students' blankets.

Ms. Lu said the college is near a forest park, where monkeys are often seen foraging for food.

She said: “In fact the monkey seemed quite skilled - it didn't even mess up our shoes that we left on the balcony.”

The monkey had come to their room from the neighbouring dormitory, where it has eaten some vegetables and consumed drinks from their balcony, it is said.

The filmer's roommate was eventually able to shoo the monkey out of the room and, after the incident was reported, a warning was sent to students to not interact with the monkeys so they don't get scratched.
