This should come as no surprise, but humans aren’t the only species on Earth that loves ice cream. Of course, we know dogs and cats have a sweet tooth (mainly because of the generosity of their human companions), but did you know monkeys also love ice cream?
The video above, shot in Malaysia by a tourist, is proof. The little guy in the video seems pretty content with this frosty treat, doesn’t he? If we had to guess, we’d say the ice cream must be banana flavored!

I’m sure he enjoys an occasional Turkey Hill banana split!
my cat eats turkey hill ice cream in fact i have to fight her off
Why not? It shows he’s smart!
Ice cream is everybody’s favorite. Glad monkey’s especially this one likes it too. I’m sure it was Turkey Hill.
my cat would sit patiently in my lap until i finished then she would lick to bowl clean. She loved all flavors but was very partial to peanut butter ripple and so am i.
Monkey see, monkey do. If our ancestors loved Turkey Hill it’s no wonder that we humans do, too.
I’m surprised the pigeons didn’t want a little of the ice cream action!
I could see all animals eating ice cream. It’s delicious!
My Yorkie eats Turkey Hill every night as a snack.
The only problem is in Malaysia he probably doesn’t get TH ice cream! My “granddog” loves ice cream!
Every animal we ever had Loved ice cream, especially TH !!!
We had to share.
Thanks for the picture.
I’ll bet all mammals would eat ice cream. We all started our journey on some kind of milk or formula.
any person, animal, or whatever has a mouth will eat ice cream.They know how
good it is.
I didn’t know ice cream is okay for animals. But these monkeys have been eating it for so long that they have become adjusted. They probably have no favorite flavor – they love them all.
Monkey speak no evil, see no evil and hear no evil but love and eat Turkey Hill Ice Cream!
My grandson dripped ice cream on my deck this summer. I saw a squirrel later in the day trying to lick it up. I put empty peanut butter jars out for them once in awhile. It’s hilarious watching them trying to get half way in the jar to get every last bit. My cat loved vanilla ice cream or butter pecan…. minus the pecans. The dog would lay her head on my lap watching me eat every spoonful.Her eyes would follow each spoonful. It was a fight between the two to see who got the leftover in the bowl. I ended up putting a spoonful in another dish and splitting the two up.
Monkeys in studies picked stocks better than the experts so they must be smart enough to know ice cream is tasty even if it is not TH
Very cute but I’m not surprised at all. I agree with Ron’s comment above.
If we believe in evolution, then monkeys are a close relative to humans. Therefore, why would they not like almost everything that we humans like. While not everyone likes every flavor of ice cream, most everyone likes at least one flavor. It guess they had the right flavor for this monkey.
I’m not surprised. My brother’s dog eats everything. He shares his ice crem, muffins, etc. with his dog. His dog especially loves ice cream, TH, of course.
I agree with everyone! If we love TH ice cream, why shouldn’t animals? My grand=dogs love ice cream as well! They will lick the dish clean! You don’t even have to wash it afterwards! HAHA!
Our beloved cat used to lick our ice cream bowls clean.
One of the first cats I ever had loved peach ice cream!
cute pic! he appears to be very protective of his treat!
not unusual my dog loves it why not a monkey
…definitely has good taste with “turkey hill” in that cone.
banana split flavor, maybe??
It sure looks like a banana so thats probably the flavor he’s eating and looks like he loves it too.
Monkey See, Monkey Do! Now I want some ice cream, lol!
I love this.
our cat is a TH ice cream lover as well–she likes vanilla best…bet the monkey is having banana though!
Years and years ago, I remember watching an orangutan eating an ice cream pop in the Central Park Zoo. I don’t know if it was supplied to him by his zookeepers or if a patron show him some mercy on a hot summer day. Also, my cat always sits and stares at me waiting to lick my empty ice cream bowl and to think that some people think that animals are dumb.
WHY SHOULDN’T ANIMALS ENJOY SUCH A GREAT THING.
MY GERMAN SHEPHERD LOVES ICE CREAM. ANY FLAVOR WILL DO AS LONG AS IT’S TURKEY HILL.
He has good tastes!!!
We are animals..We just get to go shopping to pick out the flavors!
mammals love milk and milk products so this does not surprise me
Sometimes I feel like an animal when it comes to ice cream! Can’t stop with one scoop.
That’s no dumb monkey!
the monkey knows what he likes
And why wouldn’t a monkey like ice cream? Many animals are more inteligent than we give them credit for.
A monkey with good taste who knows what tastes good!
He seems to be on the lookout and in a hurry! I don’t blame him! I’d want all the ice cream for myself, too!
I HAVE TO FIGHT OFF MY CAT FOR T-H ICE CREAM
