Monkeys are gregarious animals who often cohabit with their tribe. If separated from their moms, infant monkeys might get depressed. And monkey moms are extremely protective of their young, who rarely leave their mother’s arms or interact with strangers. A young monkey must remain with its mother during the birth and upbringing of a sibling in order to acquire critical life skills.

A video of a mama monkey helping her little monkey peel a banana before eating it has gone viral. The Instagram user “monkeyadore” uploaded the video. It has more than 268,000 views and 8,300 likes. In the video, the little monkey is seen grasping a banana from its mother’s hands, but she peels it before giving it to him.

A few peels wind up on the infant monkey’s head, but she carefully removes them. The two are seated on tree bark and sharing a banana. Netizens were happy to observe the mother’s tender care for the infant monkey.

As one user wrote, “The simplest thing can be so beautiful to watch,” remarked another user, “So smart,” wrote a third, “racks me up how they know how to peel off extra.”
