“OMG! What happened to Lori?” one might whisper if watching this moment. “Why is she like this?” It’s a heartbreaking scene — a baby monkey who was once so full of life now looking so fragile and lost.
Her mother grows anxious. She offers fruit, gently placing it near Lori’s mouth, but the baby turns her head away. She doesn’t eat, doesn’t drink — not even water. The mother tries again and again, grooming her baby, hugging her tightly, as if trying to comfort her through touch. The rest of the troop gathers nearby, watching with quiet concern.
The forest feels unusually silent. Even the birds seem to pause their songs as the mother continues to care for her sick child. Every movement of Lori shows exhaustion — her head droops, her breathing slow. Yet her mother refuses to give up. She stays close, licking her fur, keeping her warm, and looking around helplessly for some way to help.
No one knows what caused this sudden illness. Lori didn’t eat anything poisonous, and she didn’t drink from the dirty water nearby. It seems like something inside her body just gave out, leaving her weak and trembling.
As the sun begins to set, the mother still holds Lori tightly against her chest, whispering soft, loving sounds. It’s a deeply emotional moment — a mother’s endless love facing the cruel mystery of nature. Everyone who sees it can feel the same question echoing in their hearts: What happened to little Lori?
