Ingenuity on Display

In a display of quick wit, 13-year-old Nikita from Uttar Pradesh’s Basti averted an animal attack when faced with a monkey invasion and protected herself and her 15-month-old niece on April 5.


Nikita was visiting her sister’s home in Awas Vikas Colony in Basti and playing with her niece when a monkey jumped into the room and began rummaging for food. Other members of the household were in different rooms when this happened, ANI reported.

Despite being frightened, an alert Nikita noticed the Amazon’s virtual voice assistant Alexa atop the refrigerator and commanded it to bark in hopes that the animal sounds would scare away the monkey. The clever ploy proved successful.


Nikita’s mother, Shipra Ojha, praised her daughter’s resourcefulness, acknowledging that the quick thinking and effective use of Alexa averted a potential monkey attack. “Both their lives were saved by such good use of the Alexa device, we were in another room but due to the wisdom of daughter Nikita, she asked the Alexa to make the sound of a dog and hearing the sound the monkey ran away,” she told ANI.
