Little baby Anissa was trying to enjoy a quiet moment near her mother, Anna, when her older playmate, Aron, decided it was time for some rough fun. Aron, full of energy and not realizing his own strength, began tugging at Anissa’s tail and pulling her by the arms in a game that quickly became too much for the tiny monkey.
At first, Anissa tried to keep up, stumbling along behind him. But Aron’s playful wrestling turned too rough, and Anissa fell back with a soft thud on the ground. Her little hands reached out, and she let out a loud, urgent cry—a sound filled with panic and confusion.
“Mama!” her call seemed to say. “Help me!”
Her mother, Anna, turned immediately. She had been nearby, foraging, but Anissa’s cry pierced the air. In a flash, Anna rushed to her baby’s side, gently scooping her up and inspecting her carefully.
Anissa clung to her tightly, tears still in her eyes. Aron backed away slowly, sensing he had gone too far. Though he meant no harm, the lesson was clear—baby monkeys have limits.
Anna comforted her daughter with soft grooming strokes, holding her close against her chest. Slowly, Anissa calmed down, resting her head against her mother’s shoulder.
