They were surprised when one curious primate decided to take center stage, jumping in front of the camera just as they posed.
But when they looked at the picture, they saw the cheeky monkey had also given them the middle finger.
“We were only in Bali for a week and thought it would be fun to go on a day tour. As part of the tour, we went to the monkey forest. I thought it would be a fun experience,” mom Judy Hicks, 37, said.

“As I was flicking through the photos afterward, I noticed that in one of them the monkey was actually giving us the finger. I showed my husband and we both started laughing. We thought it was hilarious. The monkey definitely had a cheeky persona going on.
“We had such a great time there and these funny photos made it even better. I posted the photo to my Facebook and Instagram and all my family and friends thought it was hilarious. The experience was one of the highlights of our trip, and the photo itself is something we can look back on to remember forever.”
“Bali is such a beautiful place and we can’t wait to go back one day,” she added.
