With all the negative changes happening in the environment, animal families are separated — by force or out of necessity. Habitats are being damaged by outside forces, which lead to young ones losing contact with their parents. Recently, a video of monkeys is making people cry on the internet. Reunions are touching more so when it’s between animals and their kid. The monkey parents welcomed their son in a warm embrace that seemed to be comforting and assuring at the same time.
Parents and infant were separated because wildlife experts took the young monkey for rehabilitation but decided to return him to his parents. The heartwarming reunion has already reached 1 million views on Twitter and a massive number of retweets, quote retweets, likes, and replies. It was the kind of content you’ll share with your friends and family. Anyone would be touched by what’s on the video. The part where the baby monkey ran up the roof and one of his parents helped him up made many people happy. As if the monkeys were too excited to get a hold of their son. What’s more impressive is that they immediately went for a group hug. It was a long tight hug that can be interpreted that they missed him a lot.

In the reply section, you can read a mixture of emotions the people felt after watching the clip. Some even tried to interpret the reunion and how the son shared his experience while he was away. The viral video became a great way to socialize on the social media platform and talk about the important lesson learned in the video. Humans should treat animals better and not separate the young ones from their parents. Monkeys are accustomed to growing up in groups that are called a troop. Living together is important for them, especially with their mothers. The mother teaches them vital life skills that will be essential for the infant to learn until maturity. More importantly, monkeys have feelings and may have the same emotional capabilities as humans. Their feelings should be respected and recognized — neglect is not an option.
These kinds of videos are the right content to share on the internet as it is an eye-opener and a reminder. It teaches people not to forget about a human’s responsibility to animals.
