It was a big moment in the baby monkey’s life — and not an easy one.
The mother monkey had decided it was time to wean her baby off milk. For the little one, this change felt confusing and even a little unfair. He still chased after her, reaching out for comfort, but now, she gently pushed him away.
At first, he cried and tugged on her fur, trying to latch on. But she stayed firm. Instead of offering milk, she led him to soft fruits and leaves, nudging them toward his tiny hands.
The baby resisted. He clung to her belly, tried sneaking sips when she rested. Sometimes, she scolded him softly or walked away when he tried too hard. It wasn’t cruel — it was teaching.
Day by day, he grew stronger. He began tasting the fruit, learning to chew, and relying less on milk. Though he still missed the warmth and comfort of nursing, he started exploring more, growing bolder and more independent.
