There were bound to be plenty of unpredictable consequences as a result of the coronavirus outbreak, but a gang war between rival packs of monkeys in the streets of Thailand?

Sasaluk Rattanachai, a local shopkeeper who was credited by the Daily Mail for capturing the footage, claimed that this is the first time she's ever seen such a clash between the temple monkeys and the city monkeys, two different groups separated by a train track.

Of course, you'll recall that the original novel of THE PLANET OF THE APES begins with a pandemic virus.

I thought it was the bloods and the crips fighting.

Coming soon to a Walmart near you...

..... Nope, not going there. Valerie Jarrett joke is too obvious.

[BradyLS]

Let those little imps prey on one another for a change.

Bugs Moran’s boys versus the South Side Gang.

First this, next: dogs and cats living together.

It’s gonna happen.

They’ll have to pull that last package of toilet paper out of my cold, dead hands. It’s Charmin and Mr. Whiffle says I shouldn’t squeeze it.

[crusty old prospector]

Sorry, Mr. Whipple.

[HighSierra5]

Nothing that a shotgun can’t handle.

[Fledermaus]

“Damn you....Damn you all to hell!”

[MHGinTN]

Monkeys are mammals not reptiles.

[Kenny500c]

Why can’t the two tribes live in harmony especially when food is in short supply?

Oh right, they’re primates.

[dp0622]

Lol

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

I got special monkey rounds.

I'll see your love monkey and raise you one:
