Do animals love their offspring or species? Of course, they do. We do not need to look at Animal Planet to find out this petty news. Yet can one animal love the babies of another animal – a different species? That's something that we need to think about. Chances are – they might like them, but not like them as much as they love their offspring.
If you were in Rode, India, then your opinions would have taken a drastic turn. Why? Well, in India, a monkey did something almost unimaginable. A rhesus macaque monkey saw a small puppy on the street and immediately adopted it. It was like a parent – trying to protect this little munchkin from other stray dogs. No one dared to come near them.
The locals were delighted to see this beautiful scene. Their affection for each other – almost like a mother and child – made their heart melt. Therefore, the local people began to set down food nearby for the monkey and the adopted puppy. Shockingly, the monkey let the puppy have the first bite.
This shows us the amount of love that animals can share – almost parental love. We could learn something about bonds and relationships from this monkey-puppy bond.
