“Terrified… Jane bites baby Janet extremely, Janet tries to grab milk baby Janna again and again”
The peaceful morning in the troop suddenly turned tense when baby Janet, driven by hunger and confusion, tried once more to reach for baby Janna’s milk. Little Janna was already nestled safely against her mother, Jane, who was fiercely protective of her newborn. But tiny Janet, still young and not fully understanding boundaries, made repeated attempts to approach, hoping to be allowed just a little comfort and warmth.
Jane, already stressed and exhausted from caring for her fragile baby, reacted harshly. When Janet crept too close, Jane snapped, giving her a sharp warning bite. The sudden bite sent Janet tumbling back, her small body shaking in fear and confusion. Her cries echoed through the area—soft at first, then louder, as she struggled to understand why she wasn’t allowed near. For Janet, the need for milk was stronger than her fear, and despite being terrified, she approached again.
Each time Janet reached for baby Janna, hoping for a chance to share milk or simply be close, Jane grew more aggressive. She lunged, hissed, and bit again, making it clear that she would not let any other baby near her newborn. Janna, unaware of the drama, clung tightly to her mother, while Janet’s trembling figure showed both her courage and her desperation.
Other troop members watched from a distance, unsure whether to interfere. Baby Janet’s repeated attempts were heartbreaking—each step forward filled with hope, each push back filled with fear. The scene revealed the complicated emotions within monkey families: rivalry, protection, hunger, and survival.
In the end, Janet curled up alone, still crying softly, while Jane guarded Janna closely. It was a moment both pitiful and deeply emotional, showing how difficult life can be for the smallest and most vulnerable.
