A heartbreaking scene unfolded today among the monkey troop when an unexpected and cruel act took place. Monkey CASI, known for her unpredictable temper, suddenly lashed out and seriously bit poor baby Calvin without any clear reason. The innocent little one had only been sitting close to his mother, curiously watching the others play nearby, when CASI approached in a burst of aggression.
With no warning, CASI grabbed baby Calvin and sank her teeth deep into his tiny back. The pain was unbearable. Calvin let out a piercing, heartbreaking cry that echoed through the forest—a sound so raw and broken that even other troop members stopped what they were doing. His cry wasn’t just of pain, but confusion and fear. It was the kind of scream that sent chills down the spine, the kind of sound no baby should ever make.
Calvin’s mother rushed over, panic in her eyes, grabbing her baby and trying to soothe him. She held him tightly, checking his wound and crying with him. The pain was too much for the little one, and he continued to sob, the sound coming in short, shattered gasps.
Other monkeys watched the chaos unfold. Some came close, seemingly worried, while others kept a distance, unsure of what CASI might do next. CASI didn’t even show remorse—just sat nearby, grooming herself as if nothing had happened.
This was a truly tragic moment. Baby Calvin is now hurt physically and emotionally. He may need time and loving care from his mom and the troop to recover. But what remains heavy in everyone’s heart is the question—why did CASI do this? And will Calvin ever trust again?
