Little Heidi is in distress — her tiny chest rising and falling fast, every breath labored. She’s not just hungry… she’s desperate. With a trembling voice, she screams out, not only for food, but for relief, for comfort, for someone to notice her pain.
Her cries echo through the area, sharp and constant. She doesn’t want to be near anyone. Every time another monkey approaches, she pulls back, guarding herself, eyes wide with fear and frustration.
It’s clear — Heidi feels unsafe, unheard, and overwhelmed. Whether she’s sick, stressed, or pushed aside by others, her body and voice are telling the same story: “I need help.”
She refuses to share space, curling tightly into corners, swatting at anyone who gets too close. Even food offered by others seems to bring more anxiety than comfort. She wants it, but she also wants peace.
Her behavior is heartbreaking — a mix of fear, hunger, and loneliness. No baby should have to fight this hard just to feel okay.
