These Monkey Dads Take Care of All The Orphan Baby Monkeys

[@lovenature]

To alloparent is to provide care for offspring that are not your own. Name an animal that also practices 'alloparenting' besides the Barbary Macaque 🤔💖

[@loki2240]

Homo sapiens sapiens and meerkats.

[@mariebourgot4949]

bonobos.

[@ir8free]

Allomothering is not uncommon in vervets and macaques. Vervet society is populistic.

All mammals do it.. all animals do it..if we studied it we would see it..

[@kennethsatria6607]

Finally a species of monkey with good dads

[@cmedits9344]

So cute

[@reneemills-mistretta790]

The Barbary Macaques are unique compared to the other subspecie macaques even physically, the other's have visable tails & the males have nothing to do with their care that I've seen anyway.

[@nayida4ever]

Thanks. He puts all kinds in the same boat. Plus, it's not impossible for the dad to know who he fathered. It has been scientifically proven.

[@PrimateProductions]

@@nayida4ever that is absolutely not true! Feel free to provide a legit source ie peer reviewed scientific research journal that backs up that claim.

[@lydvisus1112]

Better creations than most male humans.

[@PrimateProductions]

Um no. Maybe you pick the wrong kind of guys.

[@andicastro1203]

So nice to see this family life.

[@BabyMonkeyDefender]

You see babies jump up and cling on to mom's backs, but you never see them jump up and stand up or sit up like they're riding a pony. Only on dad 😁 Dad's are known for being fun most of the time so I'm not surprised 🥰 1:14

Good information here, thankQ. 🇺🇸

[@PrimateProductions]

Actually it is bad info because most of what was said is incorrect

[@peterwallace9764]

Somewhat different to the Long Tails over in Cambodia. Some of those Troops are a bit rugged on the family unit there.

[@marilynjohnson5007]

More then my ex did, this is wonderful

[@ladyjade6446]
