Looks like some animals are trying to turn monkey business into a professional sport. According to the Guardian, a group of monkeys interrupted several cricket matches between England and Haryana in Ahmedabad, India.


The first unexpected player pranced onto the field during a warm-up match, delaying the game and giving bystanders a good show. A few days later, another langur monkey decided to drop in during a game. The male monkey used the field as a shortcut to get to a female langur waiting on the other side.

The interruptions were brief and humorous, instead of a real bother. After popping in, both of the uninvited monkeys stuck around to watch the game unfold.
