Clever Baby Monkey Sippo Outsmarts Mom to Get More Milk!
Little baby monkey Sippo has recently captured everyone’s hearts—not just with his adorable face but also with his clever tricks! This tiny but smart macaque has figured out how to sneak more milk from his mother, Luna, even when she tries to wean him slowly. It’s a daily challenge in the wild for mothers to teach their little ones independence, but Sippo has his own plans.
Every time Mama Luna finishes nursing and turns her back, Sippo quietly creeps up, gently nudging her while making soft baby sounds. His innocent cries and sad little eyes melt Luna’s heart—just enough for her to give in and let him nurse again. And if that doesn’t work, Sippo climbs up and clings to her chest, pretending to be sleepy and cuddly, knowing exactly how to catch her off guard.
Other monkeys in the group often watch this little trickster in action. Some moms even move away quickly to avoid being tricked by their own babies copying Sippo’s method! Luna, on the other hand, seems to be growing wise to his ways, but she still gives in occasionally—perhaps recognizing that he’s still her baby, and he just wants a little extra comfort.
Sippo’s cleverness is a sign of his intelligence and growing awareness of his environment. It’s both funny and heartwarming to watch him outsmart his mom in such innocent ways. For now, he enjoys his little victories, but soon he’ll have to rely more on solid food as he grows older. Until then, baby Sippo continues to win hearts—and win more milk—with his charming ways and smart little mind!
