Langurs Mourn Death of Fake Monkey #shorts

This Baby Spy Monkey was mistaken for dead and mourned by the troop 🐵

Primates grieving over the death of a troop is a well-documented phenomenom. Studies have found many different species of primates display signs of grief, however, a study shows that the length and intensity of the mourning period varies between species.

One of the most extreme cases was recorded in a family of chimpanzees in 1972. When a female died, her son began to show signs of clinical depression. He stopped engaging in social interactions and refused to eat, eventually leading to his death one month after.

They have more empathy than some humans.

Animals are more emotional and caring than most humans

That was cruel to put them through all that.

I was watching a documentary about the bears in Mammoth Lake, and a baby bear got hit and killed by a car. The sound of wailing that the mom made was soul crushing! It almost sounded human. This is why we need to treat all animals with dignity and respect, especially the ones that feed us. They also feel love compassion sadness and fear!

Why is it so hard to realize all animals have feeling and love and empathy, even more than some humans

[Jessicake]

This is just cruel to make them believe a fake monkey is dead

Animals feel LOVE and every other feeling that we experience as well ❤My dogs grieved the loss of our precious Dachshund Ellie😢

When I had two Huskies and one would die, there was always grief from the other dog. Of course animals grieve. Elephant who find dead elephants that have been killed for their husks, loudly trumpet in grief. Husks are ever growing, should be treated as a renewable resource. This butchering is like killing a person for their fingernails. Ridiculous! The government shouid say you have a length you must leave on the elephant so they can function, letting the elephant continues to provide, and live! We have this in the U.S. with fish size, lobster, and deer hunting, etc. Licensing helps too.

I never thought I would feel bad for a monkey

This is why I try to tell people that animals have feeling. Don't mistreat them.

If youve ever had a pet (or worked with animals ) you'd know that they have complex emotions just as we do. I have an 11yo GSD who struggles with anxiety and hes a very sweet guy. When my ex abandoned him with me when he was 6, I saw this poor dog sit at the door waiting for him to come back. He didnt eat for 3 days. It broke my heart! Ive had him ever since and I've seen many different emotions from surprise, sadness, fear ( thunderstorms ) caring, concern and even compassion. One that always stands out with him is love. ❤
I believe all animals have emotions. Just like how different cultures show emotions differently, I think animals do as well. Due to genetics and yes, culture, they may not show them like us primates do, but if you watch them you'll see it.

I had never seen an animal mourn before, not even from having my own pets … until recently .

I adopted two brother cats, in mid August at only 4 years old we had to say goodbye ( heart failure) when I came home without Jeffy his brother Dozer knew he was gone . Dozer cried for week, refused to go anywhere in the house where his brother slept - it’s heartbreaking to see an animal in mourning and not really be able to provide comfort . 😢 ( sorry - this video just made me remember Jeffy and his brother Dozer grieving. )

They have hearts and souls.They feel love, happiness, sadness. People know this but are still sometimes very unkind.please be kind to all animals ❤

[Stopstaring]

Amazingly thought provoking 🤔
Very compassionate, loving and aware.
Just remarkable 🏆
I’ve been saying it ALL of my life… always be kind, patient and loving towards all animals. And stop eating meat.

[killjoyxbycx]

Just blows my mind that people think Animals don't have emotions like people. Just stupidity

[beckydennis]

Some mothers will carry their infant monkeys body for many weeks after death. I would say that snub-nosed monkeys are probably the most loving and gentle of the species that I have seen.

[cyndytower]

They are so loving. Animals have more compassion than a lot of humans. So sad we need to be reminded of this. God Bless all his creatures.

[emilyabel]

I know they didn't intentionally make them feel like they lost a loved one. But these are smart people. They had to have known what the consequences would be in the long run.

[dannahtaft]

Beautiful 💜 God's creations all have feelings like love and grief ❤✝️

[browning]

Animals are so pure in everything they do.
