What happened to the poor baby monkey is frightening, but it can be explained clearly and calmly.
A puppy tried to bite the baby monkey because it did not understand what the baby was. Puppies are curious, playful, and sometimes rough. To the puppy, the baby monkey may have looked like a toy, prey, or something unfamiliar that triggered chasing or biting behavior. This is not evil intent—it is instinct mixed with curiosity.
For the baby monkey, the situation was very dangerous.
The baby was:
-
Very small and weak
-
Unable to run or defend itself
-
Already scared and exhausted
When the puppy moved close and tried to bite, the baby panicked. It cried loudly, screamed, and tried to pull away. Even a playful bite from a puppy can seriously injure a baby monkey because the baby’s skin and bones are extremely fragile.
Why the baby monkey is “pity” (pitiful):
-
The baby could not understand the danger
It didn’t know whether the puppy was a friend or a threat—only that something big was coming toward it. -
The baby had no protection at that moment
Its mother was not close enough, or arrived too late. Without immediate protection, the baby was completely vulnerable. -
Fear caused shock
Even if the bite was not strong, the fear alone can cause shock in a newborn—making it weak, silent, or unable to move. -
Animals don’t know mercy
The puppy was not trying to be cruel. It was acting on instinct. But instinct can still hurt or kill a fragile baby.
If the puppy actually bit the baby:
-
The baby could suffer pain, bleeding, or internal injury
-
Infection is a serious risk in the wild
-
Stress and shock can worsen the baby’s condition very quickly
This kind of scene is heartbreaking because:
-
The baby is innocent and helpless
-
The danger comes suddenly
-
No one is intentionally “bad,” yet harm still happens
In nature and around animals, size and strength matter. A baby monkey needs constant protection. Even friendly animals can become dangerous without meaning to.
That is why the baby monkey deserves pity—not because it was weak, but because it was too small to survive a moment of danger alone.
