If you spend any time watching wildlife footage, you have likely witnessed a surprisingly dramatic scene: an oversized, older baby monkey throwing a loud, screaming tantrum, begging its mother for nursing. The juvenile pulls at her fur, squeals like its heart is breaking, and refuses to let go.
To human eyes, it looks like a heartbreaking moment of distress. But look a little closer, and you will see the deeply heartwarming bond that underpins this intense phase of growing up.
