A monkey with 'a man's face' has wowed social media users in China these days.

The monkey, staying in a zoo in north-east China, shows a frantic expression as it looked into the camera.

The primates has gained its popularity on Weibo, a Chinese euqivalent of Twitter, as web users shares clips and photos on a trending hashtag 'monkey with a man's face'.
The video of the monkey has drawn over 1.3 million views since it was uploaded earlier today.
Stunned web users joked if a zoo staff member dressed up as a monkey and stayed in the enclosure.
'Are you sure this is not the zoo keeper?' asked 'guaiki'.
'songliudixiaomeng' believed the primate's eyes are the most human-like.
'Its eyes are trying to tell us something, don't you think?' she wrote.
One astounded user commented: 'It's the expression that makes me laugh! It looks lost!'
Visitors can be heard laughing while filming the 'horrified' monkey.

Zheng Kaijie, who visited the monkey on March 18, confirmed to MailOnline that the primate was being kept in Tianjin Zoological Gardens.
'It is in the "primates building" of the zoo and staying with another monkey. The other monkey looks fine but this one is very human-like,' said Zheng.
He could not remember the primate's species but said it was 'a special one'.
Zheng believed the man-like monkey is an adult and the other one is a baby monkey.
Last week, a picture of a pet dog, Yogi, that 'has a man's face', belonging to Chantal Desjardins from Massachusetts in the US has been widely shared on Twitter, Facebook and Reddit.
Web users were quick to point out Yogi's unusually large eyes and 'human-like' mouth - with one convinced there was a 'brown-eyed, bearded man' trapped inside the dog.
They compared the dog's facial features to a whole host of celebrity lookalikes, from Oscar winner Jake Gyllenhaal to Sir Anthony Hopkins.
