When the (male) monkey was coming back from the shop, he saw a female monkey and he fell in love with her [...].
Comment:
Note that the sex of the male monkey is not mentioned. This does not necessarily mean that all animals are male unless otherwise specified. However, animal story characters tend to be male (cf. comment for San Andrés Creole English Feature 117 "Female and male animals"). The example occurs in the middle part of the animal story in question.
