Little Rojo, the baby monkey known for his fiery personality, showed just how bold he can be today—but this time, he went a little too far. During playtime with a fellow baby, Rojo suddenly got overexcited and bit his friend hard, leaving everyone around shocked and concerned.
At first, the two babies were playing normally—chasing, tumbling, and chirping happily. But as the energy picked up, Rojo’s rough play turned into aggression. Without warning, he lunged and sank his tiny teeth into his friend’s arm. The poor monkey squealed loudly, clearly hurt, and scrambled away to find safety.
Rojo stood there panting, not fully understanding what he had done. Caregivers quickly stepped in, comforting the injured baby and gently moving Rojo aside to calm down. Luckily, the bite wasn’t serious, but it was enough to cause pain and fear.
This behavior, while not uncommon in young monkeys learning boundaries, is something the team takes seriously. Rojo is still very young and figuring out how to manage his emotions and strength. Biting is often a sign of frustration, competition, or even overstimulation during play.
After some quiet time, Rojo was given a soft toy to redirect his energy and a little one-on-one time with a caregiver to reinforce gentle behavior. His friend was soon back to normal, though understandably cautious around Rojo for the rest of the day.
