Langurs are smart primates, there are hundreds of videos online to prove that.?
However, this new video where a woman is feeding a rather patient langur - sitting on a table near a window - is making people love both of them.?
The video was shared on Facebook by a user named Chand Das, who according to his profile is from Mayureswar in West Bengal’s Birbhum district. In the video a woman can be seen making balls of food and then feeding it to a langur, patiently sitting on a table like a member of the family.
It seems like she is feeding the langur in her own house. The other members in the video seemed unbothered, rather comfortable with the presence of the langur in the house, hinting that it might not be the primate’s first time getting the special treatment of being fed with love. In the caption Chand Das mentions that the woman is his mother.?
The woman patiently waits for the langur to finish part of its food before feeding it another ball; one gets the image that a mother is feeding a child.?
The video was posted yesterday and is already viral with over 1 million views and 20k shares. The comments section is filled with praises for the woman.?
Another langur-related incident going viral on social media currently, is that of a injured grey langur patiently waiting outside a hospital in Karnataka to receive treatment. As mentioned, these are really smart primates and now it seems, they might just be more patient than a lot of human beings.
