The tourist, who had visited the zoo in company of her friends, enthusiastically walked up to the primate in its cage and drew near enough to have a better look at it.
Then, believing it to be food, the monkey took her phone and tried to devour it. In the now viral video, the woman just gazed hopelessly, as if she were still trying to understand what had happened.
The monkey later tossed out the iPhone X device, but it was already damaged beyond recognition.

In related news, a woman was startled when an orangutan kissed and caressed her during a recent visit to a zoo.
Last week, while the woman was at Safari World in Bangkok, the cheeky animal fondled her breasts and even gave her a peck on the cheek as she tried to pose for a picture.
The primate was captured in a video that found its way to the internet groping her breasts and kissing her on the cheek as she tried to pose for a picture.
She was about to take a beautiful tourist photo while she was seated on a swing at the zoo when the cheeky monkey approached her from behind, pawing at her, touching her breasts, and making multiple attempts to peck her on the cheek.
The orangutan beams broadly as people photograph and record the encounter. Despite being startled, the woman laughs as the orangutan plays.
