A man in India gets completely swarmed by a barrel of monkeys who are eager to eat the bread in his hands.
Video captured by a couple of stunned onlookers shows the 79-year-old man, named Krishna Kumar Mishra, approaching the monkeys with a bag full of bread.
Mr Mishra, from Raibareli in northern India, is said to be a spiritual leader who has been feeding monkeys for the last four decades.
Wearing orange robes, he is seen laughing as he begins to feed the hundreds of monkeys.
Some of the animals even climb onto Mr Mishra’s head and shoulders in a race to be first to the bread.
Mr Mishra soon becomes lost in the sea of monkeys, who drag him to the ground and sit on his belly.

For years, Mr Mishra has been collecting leftover food from hotels and homes to feed his animal friends.
He said: ‘My motive is to spread love and humanity in the world.
‘These hungry animals roam here and there in search of food and I find it satisfying to feed them.’

When he can’t find food, Mr Mishra is known to cook chapatis for the monkeys.
Never missing a feeding day, he said: ‘My wife was not very happy with my hobby but I get complete support from my daughters.
‘Even people from across the nation who wish to feed these animals help me with donations.’
