Unfortunately lots of animals just decide their kid sucks and ditch it.

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.

The monkey has since been adopted by a mother in the enclosure. I was super bummed when I seen that video so I had to look into it a bit. ☺

This could do with a content warning. It’s a distressing read. Extremely so at times.

what does this comment mean? is this a one piece reference or something?

This isn't cute. It's tragic. The same applies to your "girlfriend".

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.

No this kind of behavior happens in nature as well. First time mothers often reject their baby and then the baby just dies.
