Monkeys are not far from humans when it comes to bringing up their children. A video going around the internet shows how monkeys worry about their children getting food from strangers. It is a common practise among humans from around the world to teach their children to be wary of food offered by strangers. Nobody knew, however, that even monkeys in the wild were concerned about the same thing.? ?
In the video taking the internet by storm, a monkey mama is seen snacking on a fruit while a little monkey approaches a human offering food to it.?The mother quickly pulls back the child as it tries to nibble on the fruit presented by the human, who only showcases his hand on the video.
The monkey baby once again tries to eat the fruit offered by the man, but this time the monkey mother pulls the child back with more force and even scowls at the man as she tucks her baby under her legs. A user posted the video on Reddit and wrote, "Monkey teaching her infant not accept food from stranger."
