The animal timed its jumps perfectly, causing the board to tilt smoothly up and down as it jumped from either end.
No other monkeys were present during the display, highlighting its ingenuity and playful spirit.
The energetic primate was filmed playing in a public scenic area in Jiangsu Province, China, on Tuesday (16 Jun).
The clip went viral with millions of views on Chinese social networks such as Weibo and Douyin, as reported by Whats The Jam.
One local joked: “I thought playing on a seesaw needed at least two monkeys.”

Another added: “Monkey Bro is awesome, I didn’t expect it to jump so accurately.”
The animal appears to be a rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta), commonly found in Jiangsu’s scenic areas, particularly in places like Huaguo Mountain in Lianyungang and Maoshan.
Wild troops have grown in several tourist spots, where they forage near pathways and interact with visitors.

Rhesus macaques are highly intelligent, agile climbers known for playful behaviour and problem-solving skills.
In Jiangsu they are a protected species, though their increasing numbers sometimes lead to ‘monkey trouble’ with tourists.
