Around 3 p.m. on July 23 in Guiyang, Guizhou Province, a monkey was spotted walking upright on high-voltage power lines. Like a human, it stood on two legs and held onto the wires with its “hands,” moving swiftly across.

Staff from the Guiyang Wildlife Management Station responded that the monkey is a wild macaque that had wandered out of Qianling Mountain Park. Due to Guiyang’s mountainous terrain and the park’s semi-open design, monkeys often roam freely into urban areas in search of food. However, this is the first time one has been seen walking on high-voltage lines.

Officials said they plan to guide the monkey back to the forest using food and will continue monitoring its movements and any potential safety risks.

7月23日下午3时左右，贵州贵阳市。一只猴子出现在高空电线上，它像人一样，直立着身子“双手”扶着线路，敏捷地通行。

贵阳野生动植物管理站工作人员回应称，这只猴子是从黔灵山公园溜出来的野生猕猴，因贵阳多山且公园半开放，猴子常自由活动至市区觅食，当地人习以为常，但走高压线行为属首次见。他们会通过投喂食物引导猴子返回山林，并同步监测其活动范围及存在的安全风险。
