Pigeon and Monkey
A little infant macaque is “taken under the wing” by a white pigeon
on China’s Neilingding Island in Guangdong Province.
Evidently, this little 12 week old baby monkey was separated from its
mother and faced certain death until rescued by a refuge worker.
The story is that the baby was inconsolable until he was befriended
and nurtured by the white pigeon, another resident of the shelter.
It seems the pigeon understood the baby needed him or her.
They have become inseparable friends. The image was shot by
Jianbin Huo of China, a photojournalist. Hopefully, the two will be
allowed to spend as much time as possible together.
Macaque monkeys are very intelligent, sensitive and loving. They
hold lifetime memories of family and tribe. This little baby may
hold love and memories forever for his little friend.
