Pictures of Baby Monkey Grieving Over Dead Mother

It is one of nature's heartbreaking scenes: A grieving baby monkey refusing to let go of his dead mother.

We often assume that animals are different. They don't think and act like humans therefore we put into conclusion that they don't possess such level of intelligence. They might not be as smart as what they seem but it doesn't mean they are heartless. They have feelings too.


Photos of a baby monkey mourning for his dead mother is breaking the hearts of everyone all over the world. Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand has shared the heartbreaking photos of the orphan monkey Rhesus Macaque holding on to his mother that has been shot and killed by a poacher in a forest of a wildlife sanctuary.  A ranger of Thailand in Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation has taken the photos and has said that he and his team manage to catch the poacher. The baby monkey will be in custody at the wildlife breeding center.

The baby monkey can no longer grow up with a mother's care and guidance. A lot of people are sympathizing this little fellow. Refusing to let go of his mother despite the fact that it is already dead, would mean that animals are similar to humans. Animals have attachments. Animals can mourn over the dead of their own kind. Animals are like humans, they can feel sadness too.
