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.
