It’s sad but I’m betting monkeys do what they do for whatever nature reasons they do it.
I just saw a video with this monkey being harassed by other monkeys and then running to hug his toy, it was really sad
Yeah, I did too :(((
Why can’t people see my relationship with my AI girlfriend as cute? I think it’s cute.
This isn’t cute. It’s tragic. The same applies to your “girlfriend”.
IDK this is less aww and more depressing IMO… This world can be a cruel and vile place… The poor thing looks miserable.
A veil of tears if you will
That poor baby 😭 I can’t imagine the restraint it must take not to constantly snuggle the lil guy. Rooting for him though 🩵

Update: he has been accepted and groomed by an adult monkey:
Modern culture has completely ruined the lightheaded nature of that sentence for me…
That was the update I needed today, thank you kind Internet stranger.
This is so god damn sad
Unfortunately lots of animals just decide their kid sucks and ditch it.
This could do with a content warning. It’s a distressing read. Extremely so at times.
Zoos are gross and inhumane. This is type of behavior happens when animals are kept in captivity and it’s really gross to portray the zoo as the “nice” party for giving a 10€ plush as a replacement mom.
I am no fan of zoos, but this behavior happens in the wild as well, when the mother is stressed, inexperienced, and/or lacks social support. Nature can be really fucking cruel and inhumane. Many and more animal babies die of starvation before they can get through their first few days… some species it’s actually more common than successful parentage.
It’s much more likely to occur in zoos.
Zoos are gross and inhumane.
If only we lived in a perfect world…
I guess giving up our zoos would destroy us.
No this kind of behavior happens in nature as well. First time mothers often reject their baby and then the baby just dies.
It happens yes, but it’s more common in zoos.
