Poor baby Daniela, the new little monkey in the group, is facing a heartbreaking challenge. She is still young, tender, and just getting used to her surroundings. But sadly, instead of kindness, she is being picked on—especially by one older monkey, Dee Dee, who has developed a nasty habit. Without warning or mercy, Dee Dee keeps plucking Daniela’s soft hair, pulling at it roughly as if to dominate her. Each tug makes Daniela wince and cry out softly, her tiny body shivering with discomfort.
Daniela tries to stay close to her mom, hoping for safety, but Dee Dee’s mean behavior continues. Sometimes, Dee Dee waits until Daniela is alone or distracted, then attacks quickly, yanking patches of hair from her head and back. It’s not just painful physically—it’s emotional. Daniela looks confused and scared, unsure of what she did wrong. Her cries are quiet but heart-wrenching, and even the older monkeys nearby seem to sense her suffering.
Little Daniela doesn’t fight back. She crouches down low, eyes wide, clearly hurt and shaken. Her mother tries to comfort her, but even she seems overwhelmed by Dee Dee’s aggression. This behavior is more than rough play—it’s bullying, and it’s leaving Daniela with bald patches and a broken spirit.
The group must recognize Daniela’s pain and take steps to protect her. Young monkeys need nurturing, not torment. Daniela deserves a safe space to grow, explore, and learn from love—not from fear. Her bright eyes and gentle nature show that she still has hope. Let’s hope the caregivers or alpha step in before Dee Dee’s nasty plucking causes more damage—physically or emotionally. No baby monkey should suffer like this.
