Grieving Mother Does Not Want To Leave Dying Infant Monkey
January 10, 2019
As this mother monkey grieves the loss of her infant monkey, the scene is absolutely heartbreaking. This is just another visual piece of proof that animals have feelings, too. In the video, we see a mother langur clinging to the lifeless body of her newborn baby.
Photographer Archna Singh captured the gut-wrenching moment at Ranthambhore National Park, Rajasthan, India. The area was in the middle of an intense heatwave. In fact, that may have even been the cause of the baby monkey’s death. The baby is believed to be about 2 days old and throughout the video, you can see the devastated mother trying her best to revive her precious infant.

For anyone else who has lost a loved one, we can certainly understand the pain and anguish that this mother must be going through right now. It is never easy to say goodbye, especially to your own child. While scenes like this happen frequently in nature, it is rare to see it captured on camera.
This shows us there is living proof that God’s creatures big, small, and even furry, can feel. God truly placed animals on this Earth for a specific reason and their compassion and emotions always leave me in awe. What thought and detail He put into everything from the land to the sea!
Genesis 1:21 “So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.”
