Just two minutes after giving birth, the mother monkey Merry is still in a state of exhaustion, yet filled with natural instinct and care. The scene is both emotional and powerful—Merry sits quietly, her body trembling slightly from the effort of labor, while the tiny newborn lies close to her chest, still wet and weak from birth. Her breathing is heavy, and her eyes, though tired, shine with maternal instinct as she gently touches the baby for the first time.
In this short moment, Merry’s world changes completely. The newborn clings weakly, trying to find warmth and comfort from its mother’s body. Merry, despite her fatigue, begins cleaning the baby using her tongue, removing the birth fluids and stimulating its tiny lungs to breathe properly. It’s a tender act of love that reveals the deep connection between mother and child. Around them, the troop seems curious—some watch from a distance, while others approach carefully to see the new life that has just entered their group.
The baby’s tiny cries fill the air, and Merry pulls it closer, pressing it tightly to her chest. She protects it instinctively, wrapping her arms around it to keep it safe from cold and danger. Every gesture shows her love and instinct to nurture. Within these two minutes, a whole new life begins, and a mother’s role awakens with full devotion.
This moment captures the raw beauty of nature—the miracle of birth, the strength of motherhood, and the fragile beginning of a tiny monkey’s life. Merry’s journey as a mother has just started, and watching her care for her newborn is both heartwarming and deeply moving.
