The baby monkey died because several serious problems happened together, and its small body could not survive them.
First, the baby was too weak and hungry.
From the beginning, it did not get enough milk. Newborn monkeys need frequent feeding to keep their strength and body temperature. Without milk, the baby’s energy dropped very quickly. Hunger alone can be fatal for a newborn.
Second, the baby became cold and exhausted.
Without enough food and without constant body contact from its mother, the baby could not keep itself warm. Cold drains strength fast. The baby cried, moved, and searched for help until it had no energy left. Exhaustion made its condition worse hour by hour.
Third, the baby suffered injury and stress.
The baby was bitten and hurt, which caused strong pain, fear, and shock. For such a small body, even a minor injury can be very dangerous. Pain increases stress, and stress weakens the body further, especially when the baby is already hungry and cold.
Fourth, the baby was left alone for too long.
Whether the mother was exhausted, injured, scared, or forced away by danger, the baby spent critical time without protection and warmth. Newborn monkeys cannot survive alone. Even a short separation can be deadly.
Finally, the baby’s body simply gave up.
After crying for a long time, the baby became quiet. This is a very serious sign. It means the body no longer has strength to fight. Breathing slows, movement stops, and life fades quietly.
So the baby monkey did not die for one single reason.
It died because of:
-
Hunger
-
Cold
-
Injury
-
Exhaustion
-
Lack of constant care
In the wild, this happens often and silently. Nature is harsh, especially to newborns. The baby did not die because it was weak or unwanted—it died because help came too late.
This is what makes the situation so heartbreaking.
The baby tried to survive.
The mother likely tried too.
But sometimes, in the wild, love is not enough to defeat hunger, cold, and time.
