A wild langur just proved that some people really do get a hug whether they asked for one or not.
CCTV footage from a mobile repair shop in Odisha, India, shows the owner sitting with his head down over a phone game when a wild gray langur wanders in around 5 p.m. on Oct. 22. The animal calmly wrapped its arms around the owner and rested its head against his chest, while the man froze and his assistant looked on.
The roughly 30-second clip spread across X and Instagram after it was posted on Oct. 24, with one outlet reporting more than 200 million Instagram views, though that figure comes from a single report. Viewers called it a rare moment of connection between humans and wildlife, and the langur did not take or damage anything.
