«Breaking News» Grieving mother monkey cradles her dead infant and refuses to leave its side

This is the heartbreaking moment a grieving mother monkey cannot leave her dead infant's side so carries and cradles it for hours on end. 

In the emotional footage captured in Ranthambhore National Park, Rajasthan, India, the mother langur can be seen sitting in a tree with the infant draped in her arms. 

The mother tries to encourage the infant - believed to be two days old - to feed, as well as interacting with other langurs, but to no avail. 

The mother langur monkey cradles her dead infant while sitting in a tree at Ranthambhore National Park, Rajasthan, India

When another monkey jumps onto the tree and touches the infant's face, there's no response causing the monkey to gently embrace the distraught mother. 

The mother then cradles her baby and spins around making sure to keep the infant close to her at all times.

She picks it up and pats the infant's back but the baby just flops around in her arms.

The mother then looks around her multiple times before jumping down from the branch, with the baby still in her arms, and heading towards an open space.

While sitting there she rests the infant on the ground but stays close by watching over it and looks into the distance with a sad expression.   

Photographer Archna Singh captured the moment during the height of a heatwave, where temperatures reached 49C in Ranthambhore National Park, speculating that this may have caused the infant's death.

She moves to an open space but refuses to leave the baby's side for more than two hours

The mother kisses her unresponsive infant, who is believed to be two days old, and tries to get it to move but to no avail

Archna, from New Delhi, India, said: 'I captured this moment from far away with the help of zoom lenses as to not invade the privacy of the mom at such a sensitive time.

'She knew he was dead but was not ready to believe or accept it.' 

When she arrived the infant monkey was barely alive but after following the pair over two hours, Archna said she witnessed the baby taking its last breath.

Archna added: 'It was a highly emotional time for me to capture the footage - I cried the whole time.

She tenderly rests her hand on the infant's body as they sit in quietly in the open space

'I always believe animals feel just like humans do, but to witness this intense grief of the mother langur was something else.

'No parent should ever have to undergo the loss of a child, and this only validated my belief further that animals are just as sensitive as we humans are.

'Most people have cried, men and women alike, and I have received very emotional messages about it.'

After observing the pair for a number of hours, Archna said the mother then disappeared into the jungle, still carrying the dead baby.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
