    A pack of enraged monkeys were caught on camera killing a rat for stealing their food at their enclosure.<\/p>\n

    The murderous scene took place inside a zoo in Quzhou, China's Zhejiang province.<\/p>\n

    Video shared online shows a cheeky rodent making a bold move to steal the food from the container in the middle of the primate enclosure.<\/p>\n

    But the monkeys spot the attempt and, when it makes a dart from under the container, they chase it before one grabs hold.<\/p>\n

    It then swings it around by its tail in an apparent attempt to disorientate it before bashing its head on the rocks and finally submerging it underwater.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    With no chance to escape, the rat plays dead but the monkey takes a second round of revenge by picking it up and throwing it into water again.<\/p>\n

    The monkey pokes at the rat to see if it can still move.<\/p>\n

    But the witted rat plays possum and runs down a narrow hole in the rocks just when the monkey loses its grip.<\/p>\n

    Mrs Dong, who filmed the entire act on her phone, said: "I have seen the rats before and I was thought that they weren't disturbing the monkeys, and I certainly didn't expect it to be beaten.<\/p>\n

    "I guess they were not impressed at the rat stealing their food."<\/p>\n

    One viewer said: "That's a smart monkey trying to drown a rat."<\/p>\n

    "What a revenge! That should teach the rat a lesson," a second wrote and a third joked: "Real-life Planet of the Apes!"<\/p>\n
