In a touching and emotional moment, young monkey Sovan showed true growth today. After causing trouble and making both his mother and friend Sovanny upset, Sovan did something rarely seen so clearly—he bravely apologized.
Earlier in the day, Sovan had been acting out—snatching food, pushing Sovanny, and ignoring his mother’s calming signals. It wasn’t just playful mischief; his behavior caused tension in the group and left his mother visibly stressed. She turned away from him, clearly upset, and Sovanny avoided him completely.
But later, something changed.
With his head bowed and body low to the ground—a classic sign of submission in monkey behavior—Sovan approached his mom slowly. He gently reached for her hand, then touched his head to hers. At first, she hesitated. But then, she accepted the gesture, allowing him to rest beside her. It was clear: Sovan was sorry.
Not long after, he crept over to Sovanny, who had been sitting alone. Again, Sovan bowed slightly, then reached out with a light touch. Sovanny chirped softly, and the two began grooming each other—a peaceful way to rebuild trust and friendship.
