There is a difference between “saving” and “saving it for later” !!

the baby would have died of thirst and hunger anyway, had hypothermia hadn’t killed it first. Plucky as the baby monkey was, it still needed his mother’s milk.

Baby baboon: Yeah, finally peace..

Its weird. it showed the baby mercy in its last hours of life. Almost unheard of.

Stuff like this makes a grown ass man cry.

Animals never cease to amaze me with their ability to do the opposite of what we think they’ll do, given the right circumstances.
