In many parts of India, it’s a common sight to see monkeys in streets and public places. Recently commuters in the city of Kanpur watched a monkey helping a primate companion at a train station.
On Saturday, one of the monkeys had walked on electrified wires and fell unconscious as a result. Witnesses saw the other monkey desperately try to awaken its friend.
For approximately 20 minutes, the determined primate bit the unconscious one’s neck repeatedly and even dipped it in water, as part of the frantic efforts to help.
A third monkey stayed in the background and watched everything unfold. Eventually, the primate did wake up. The many onlookers who had gathered on the sidelines, cheered and applauded when it was revived.
After taking several moments to regain its composure, the electrocuted primate and its hero friend walked away from the station together.
Although this particular scene was heartwarming, monkeys in India are often thought of as annoyances and in the capital city of New Delhi, officials are trying out innovative methods to move them away from public spaces.
The human ‘monkey mimics’ screech and wail to scare the primates away.
