Oh God! Newborn Baby Leo Hurt So Badly by His Own Mother – Heartbreaking!
In this deeply emotional and heartbreaking video, we witness the tragic story of newborn baby monkey Leo, who is hurt so badly by the very mother who was supposed to protect and love him. Baby Leo had only just come into the world—fragile, innocent, and entirely dependent on his mother for care and warmth. But instead of comfort, he faced aggression and rejection.
From the first few minutes of the footage, we can see Leo crying softly, his tiny body curled up and trembling. His mother appears distant and agitated, pacing back and forth, sometimes aggressively swatting at him or pulling him in ways that clearly cause him pain. It’s unclear what triggered the mother’s harsh behavior—whether it was stress, confusion, or fear—but her actions have left baby Leo with visible injuries and emotional trauma.
As the moments pass, Leo tries desperately to cling to her for warmth, but each attempt ends in heartbreak. He is pushed away, stepped on, or harshly grabbed. His weak cries pierce through the forest sounds, and even the other monkeys in the group seem unsure of how to respond. Some nearby females appear to watch with concern, but no one intervenes. This cruel and unusual treatment for such a helpless newborn is hard to watch without tears.
Eventually, Leo becomes too weak to move much. His breathing slows, and his little arms tremble when he tries to hold onto a branch or reach out for support. The wounds on his back and head are visible, and the pain in his eyes is clear. Viewers will feel their hearts break watching him struggle to survive in a world that seems to have turned against him from the very start.
There is a powerful moment later in the video when a kind-hearted adult monkey—possibly a sister or aunt—approaches and gently tries to comfort Leo. She sniffs him and sits nearby, offering a short moment of peace. But sadly, the mother returns and drives her away, continuing her unpredictable aggression.
This video raises important questions about animal behavior, maternal instincts, and the impact of environment and stress on primate families. It is a sobering reminder that even in the animal kingdom, not all mothers are able to care for their young. Sometimes, nature can be as cruel as it is beautiful.
We hope that someone in the troop—or perhaps nearby human caretakers—can step in before it’s too late. Baby Leo deserves a chance at life, love, and protection. Let us all pray that Leo survives and that kindness will find its way to him.
Please watch with care. This video contains scenes that may be emotionally distressing to sensitive viewers. If you care about animals, especially baby monkeys like Leo, your compassion and attention can help bring more awareness to their struggles and inspire better treatment for all creatures great and small.
