A 3-second video shot by Ms. Zhai shows a monkey curled up in a monkey cage with a small monkey in his arms, his head shaking constantly.
On the afternoon of February 9th, a staff member of Suhai Forest Animal World introduced to Ersanli Information that the video taken by tourists was indeed on February 8th. The unwillingness to let go in his arms is not what tourists think of as "gnawing food". "Monkeys are very well behaved and very human, and a mother and child must be hugged when they die."
According to the staff member, before the incident, the park knew that the female monkey was pregnant, but it was impossible to predict the time of her giving birth, so this happened. After the Festival of Lights that night, the staff discovered the matter while feeding, and it has been properly handled. The female monkey is currently in stable vital signs.
According to the public account of Yanggu Suhai Forest Animal World, the park is located in Xisuhai Village, South Liaoyang Road, Fengqi Bay. It will be constructed in three phases according to AAAA standards. Animal performances, tropical plants hall, playground, bird release performance, artisan town, science museum, research base, and a comprehensive park with thousands of acres of flowers.
In response to the mother monkey's "carcass-carrying" behavior, Dr. Zhao Xumao from the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences once mentioned in an interview, " After the baby monkey died, the mother monkey refused to throw away the child for a long time. ,It still holds its baby in its arms and looks after it as if it were alive. From a purely biological point of view, this behavior is meaningless. Carrying a dead baby monkey will consume its energy, and the dead baby monkey may be Infecting some diseases is not good for the family and the whole race. The longer it lives, the longer the mother monkey carries it. The greatness of maternal love does not distinguish between species, and the maternal love in the natural animal world is just as great.
