⁠ . How? Using emphatical development. Combined with the ability to use their eyes. And besides that: There’s also that little pesky thing called: ‘Reading more closely’. Because the comment you’re replying to, reads: “….. It MUST HAVE BEEN….” It does NOT state: “…..IT DEFINITELY WAS….” Thus leaving room for, again, the EMPATHETIC possibility of that scenario (losing a baby) being sad and heartbreaking, because the writer can actually EMPHASIZE with another person or animal and thus can imagine for ANY creature to lose their baby being a sad and heartbreaking experience… Question: Is there a specific reason that you felt the (clearly irresistible) urge to give ‘let my show my, perceived only by myself,superiority by making a comment that implies the stupidity of another person, even though I don’t have a clue what we’re talking about here myself’ a try?? Because I am pretty confident that there is not a single person active in the comment section of this video clip, who thinks that ALL OF US REACTING TO THIS FOOTAGE must somehow be ‘career biologists’, ‘animal behavior experts’ or whatever other kind of highly trained professional in this work field might be out there…in order to respond to this clip?? Because we are ALL just simply giving our amateur ideas, our aficionado views, our hobbyist, appreciator, supporter, admirer, fanboy, fan girl, enthusiast, nonprofessional, recreational, ordinary thoughts on things, YET: OUR EQUALLY enthusiastic, avid, committed, passionate, devoted, warm, zealous, fervid, hearty, animated, cheerful, energetic, bouncy, jaunty, dynamic, sparkling, elated, stirring, eager, indefatigable, effervescent, ardent, impassioned, emotional, EMPATHIC, vigorous, impetuous, passionate, earnest, amped, eloquent, assiduous, dedicated and ABSOLUTELY BENIGN AND COMPASSIONATE THOUGHTS….. ….to this comment section, where we simply share our input on (in this case) the reasoning behind the behavior of these animals as a form of ‘maybe this is a possible reason the animals act the way they do’. However… you apparently get online, into the comment section in order to burn down anyone’s giving ideas, because we’re not Sir David Attenborough himself…. Now THAT’S an interesting kind of behavior that is worth doing some research on…… Let’s call that research: “A Deeper Understanding Into The Online ‘Karen’ Phenomenon” - “A Previously Unknown Subvariant Of The Dunning Kruger Effect” And that research will not be done by the ‘usual experts’, like psychologists or other behavioral scientists….

Loved this. We need more videos like this instead of the animal abuse videos shown on Facebook and other sites. I'm not sure if KZbin shows them but if they do, shame on them. It breaks my heart and makes me sick to my stomach to hear or see a video that shows animal abuse. I try to stay away from those videos but sometimes I accidentally click on one to see a monkey and then I see it is one that has been abused. Animals are pure in heart and have so much love to give. The chimpanzee mother is showing more love for her baby than what some human mother's show to their baby. God created these beautiful creature on earth. We should respect them not be inhumane to them. I pray all those who abuse animals will get what they deserve. I'm glad this baby chimpanzee got better and was able to be returned to its mother. If this video doesn't show love then I don't think any video can. Thanks to the person who shared this with us.

I cry every time i see this!! The moms grief was so high . When her baby put her arm above the blanket how Heartwarming and Joyful mom is!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@reginafallangie2867]

Poor momma…Imagine the despair she must have felt having her baby & then suddenly it’s gone, and her not understanding what happened. I could feel the pure relief she had when she discovered her little one was there. 🥰

[@peacepantherproductions]

This is what happens to every mother cow-- babies forcibly taken away- over and over- we then take her lactation and make “cheese” or “icecream”-- this is why ppl are vegan-- dairy is evil and takes newborn babies away from mothers- they will end up as veal or used as breeding machines to make more lactation (cow milk).

[@glamdolly30]

Yes, her suffering without the baby she birthed is unimaginable. There is no stronger bond between two mammals, than a mama and her baby.

[@jessicawheeler579]

I was wondering why she was away from her baby for 2 days how sad for the mother so happy to see them together again

[@battybatshytcrazy4365]

@@jessicawheeler579 because the baby wasn’t breathing on its own so the staff had to put him/her on oxygen. Hope this helped ✌️🧡

[@katharina...]

@@jessicawheeler579 The baby was born by C-section, so the mama had never seen her baby until that moment. She was pregnant, then she was put to sleep, and when she woke up she was neither pregnant nor did she have a baby 😔 Thank goodness both mama and baby had a very happy ending though! 🥰

[@bindra1731]

I am sorry to state this but my loving caring mother at 88 years is not the same one would expect. Not a burden but bitter with her life & expressing it 24x7. Bottom line we miss what we do not have & get fed up when we have in excess.

@@bindra1731 sounds like a woman who has a lot of regrets and wishes she had made different decisions in life. I am sorry for her, but not everyone lives like that and some of use only get happier and more joyous the older we get. Just depends what path your on in this lifetime. Sounds like your mom chose to experience a lot of hard lessons. I am sure in the next life, she will make better choices

[@obscurelyvague]

@@bindra1731 You said it. But it is well known that when people really really get into their elder years , and that can depend on one's health and genetics, they can change from what they used to be because of senility, seeing the world change and many of their friends die and remembering times they liked better (etc) . There are times when people were practically "practicing " to grow old UN-gracefully all their lives.

[@rubybeak]

The joy the mum felt for her baby was obvious and heartwarming x

[@thisisqualia]

She really thought the little was dead. When the little arm moves and she recognizes him... "my baby!!!" Pure relief and love. Good mom.

[@avrilpeters]

The sheer joy she had when she realised her baby was alive fills my heart with love, animals are more compassionate then most humans and we could learn so much from them. Also the baby knew it's mama was around that is why it reached out for her❤

[@jesseback3536]

We learned plenty from animals. Tiger style, crane style, snake style, and so on .

It was definitely a beautiful moment when she realised her baby was alive and well, however it is definitely NOT correct that animals are more compassionate than (most) humans - let's not get carried away by our emotions 🙏

I've seen this so many times and it always makes me cry. Her reaction when she realized the baby was alive is so precious.❤️

Male chimps hunt in "platoons", take babies from their mothers, pulled them apart and eat them in front of the mothers like its a barbecue party.

[@gorillabff1003]

So lovely. I can’t stop watching it. Mama makes this vocalization when she realizes baby is there that sounds like relief to be reunited with her baby. When she sees that arm come out of the blanket she can’t pick up her baby fast enough and seems to tremble with emotion. Such a beautiful perfect reunion ♥️🇨🇦

[@morganjanelle4282]

@mistannybell5127 Sadly, Kucheza (the baby) died when he was just 5 weeks old. An autopsy was done & determined he died from head trauma. The zoo staff said that, based on the positive dynamics from the chimps group, the head trauma was likely from an accident (he fell), rather than violence or a confrontation. He was born on Nov 15th, 2022 & died five weeks later on Dec 22nd, 2022. When the caretakers/zoo staff got to work that morning, they found Mahale (Kucheza's mom) cradling Kucheza in her arms. There are several articles about it. 💔

[@celestek.2395]

Yet people still buy those babies to have as pets. And the mothers are bred until they can’t have anymore or die.
