This heartbroken baby monkey seen weeping by her dead mum after being hit by a car

Baby monkey weeps for dead mum

Even animals can be heartbroken sometimes. This was the case of a heartbroken baby monkey which wept and clung onto its dead mother’s body after a car knocked her down.

This happened in Southern India when the monkey rushed its lifeless mother’s side while making attempts to revive her back to life, on the road side.

The animal’s behaviour made passers-by on the Tamil Nadu-Karnataka National highway looked on in tears as the baby monkey whimpered and desperately clung to its mother.

According to K Saravanan: ‘Losing a loved one will be painful not just for human beings. Animals too mourn. We saw the young monkey weeping over the carcass of its mother.’

The monkey was eventually held back as police took the mother away to be cremated.

‘The baby monkey jumped from one tree to another tree and followed us when we carried the carcass,’ said G Sathyanarayanan.

Villagers conducted the final rites for the mother as the baby watched on from a distance.
