The heartbreaking scene unfolds in the quiet corner of the forest, where baby monkey Alba sits helplessly, crying softly for her mother. Her small, trembling hands reach out as she clings to Anna, her mother, begging for milk. But today, there is no comfort to be found. Anna’s eyes look tired and sorrowful — her body weak, her milk gone. She tries to comfort Alba with gentle touches, but the little one doesn’t understand why her cries go unanswered.
Alba’s hungry wails echo through the air, each cry filled with desperation and confusion. She tugs at Anna’s chest, hoping for even a drop, but there’s nothing left. The mother looks around anxiously, searching for food, for fruit, for anything that might help her produce milk again. But hunger and exhaustion have taken their toll.
The bond between mother and baby is strong — Anna never pushes Alba away. She holds her close, trying to soothe her with warmth and love even as her own strength fades. Nearby, the troop watches in silence. Some approach curiously, others keep their distance, sensing the mother’s pain.
Alba continues to whimper, her tiny body pressed tightly against Anna’s fur. She doesn’t understand why her mother can’t feed her. The emotional moment captures the harsh reality of wildlife — the struggle of survival, the pain of a mother who cannot provide for her baby, and the innocence of a child who only knows how to cry for love and care.
As the sun sets, Anna wraps Alba in her arms, whispering soft calls of comfort. Though there is no milk, there is still love — a love so pure and powerful that it shines through even the hardest moments of their lives.
