The Baby Monkey Cries Like A Human When He Is Born And His Mother Tragically Passes Away At The Same Time

Sep 28, 2018

Primates are considered by many to be a highly intelligent animal species that are ancient ancestors to modern human beings.

Multiple species of primates have been observed to mimic behaviors and perform actions that are remarkably identical to the actions of their human family members.

There is also reason to believe that monkeys and other primates possess a high degree of emotional intelligence. They have been observed to demonstrate the joy of laughing, as well as the sadness of crying.

The monkey that is seen in the images is a good example of the emotion that can be displayed by primates. You may be like many who are not able to resist shedding tears when viewing images of the monkey.

The monkey is a newborn and the images are taken not long after his birth. His mother died while giving birth to him.

The monkey is observed to visibly weep while lying on a multi-colored blanket.

Another example of this emotional development can be seen with a gorilla by the name of Koko. Koko cried aloud when separated from a small kitten with which the gorilla had developed a friendship.

Koko was known to be a highly intelligent gorilla that understood 2000 words in English and more than 1000 hand signals.

The kitten was chosen as a companion by Koko on the birthday of the female gorilla. A few months after their friendship began, the kitten escaped from her cage only to be later killed by an automobile.

Multiple videos of Koko grieving the kitten by crying have been recorded. Koko even communicated that she was stricken with sadness through hand signals.
