Thank you, Youcan. 🙂
That was a V Sad, but fascinating video.
It's interesting to see that other species behave that way.
RIP Spy Monkey, indeed, ha ha.

ecar I've watched it a few times now and it gets me every time...
RIP little spy monkey..
I'm pretty sure the researchers would have been thrilled to get this footage..

It took me a couple of years to learn that the cockatoos mourn their dead.
In hindsight, of course they're going to respond to the loss of one of their own.
They're a flock, they're a family, they're a group, the loss of one of theirs affects them.
Mourning isn't an exclusively human behaviour, but if you don't know that animals do it too, it can be a bit of a surprise.
I hope the researchers are thrilled to have the footage, it's a window on the behaviour of the troupe.
The better that you understand the world around you, the better you understand your place in that world.

Lovely & sad - at the same time.
Must admit took me a while to figure the baby.
We are not so different from the animal world - think we are part of it.
Thank you - Youcan.

ecar, There's a family of crows that live in my neighbourhood, and one day I watched them and about 25 other crows perch silently on one overhead line..When I came down to the street to investigate, there was a dead crow lying directly underneath them..
It was v spooky, sensing their respect..I felt like I was watching a funeral procession.
And yes, I agree with you, the better you understand the world around you..there's a lot a person can learn by watching other living things.
domino- you're welcome...
