A lot of fans remember George for his wonderful TikTok videos of him opening up packages for his family. One of his most recent ones that has amassed over six million views featured the monkey opening up a package for a moon lamp. The video showed him tearing open the package, pulling out the moon globe lamp, and even reading and studying the instructions paper.
The video ended with George even plugging the lamp in himself, proving just how intelligent monkeys can be. It was such a unique and fun video to see, and it’s clear why fans are so absolutely devastated over his passing. Rest in peace, George. You will truly be missed!
