Monkeys 1, Humanity 0

A monkey troop rescued a kidnapped orphan monkey in India. A farmer shot a langur, a protected species, as she suckled an infant. The infant wouldn't let go, and police ultimately brought the infant and corpse to their station.

Officers allowed it to stay the night, but around 30 monkeys laid siege to the station — gathering outside and on the roof.

Officers were surprised when some monkeys managed to sneak into the station and quietly take the baby away with them.

Inspector Prabir Dutta told newspaper Pragati: "What we saw was absolutely touching. It was as if the monkeys had made up their minds to take charge of the orphan. One of the females in the group held it close to its chest and even offered its teats to be sucked.

"The monkeys behaved in an exemplary fashion and impressed us with their show of solidarity. Human beings have a lot to learn from them."
