An orangutan at a zoo in Indonesia proved she has more swag than most after modeling a pair of sunglasses that a visitor accidentally dropped in the primate's enclosure.

So I’m down a pair of sunglasses but up a very good story #monke

TikTok user Lola Testu said she was visiting the zoo when her sunglasses fell into the ape's exhibit. Curiosity got the best of the mother orangutan, who quickly snatched up the sunglasses while holding onto her baby.

Testu thought the ape was going to eat the shades, but instead she put them on without any hesitation -- just like a human would.

The primate initially put on the glasses upside down, while trying to ignore the persistent interest of her baby, who tries to grab them.

The video ends when the orangutan throws the sunglasses back toward the visitors, and a zookeeper rewards her with a snack.

The video has been viewed more than 44 million times.
