OMG this is absolutely heartbreaking
Amid the gathering of dozens of mourning family members and relatives, the primate is seen sitting near the mortal remains. The video shows persons in the gathering making attempts to move the monkey away, but to no avail.
The monkey is seen seated by the feet of the mortal remains and thereafter moves towards the torso, as if to check whether the person is breathing. It appears that the monkey nudges the deceased person lovingly, in order to get his attention. The moving video that showcases the bond between the animal and the person who fed it

I've always liked this tidbit from a family that regularly feeds peanuts in the shell to the local crows.
>she lost a lens cap in a nearby alley while photographing a bald eagle as it circled over the neighbourhood.
She didn't even have to look for it. It was sitting on the edge of the birdbath.
Had the crows returned it? Lisa logged on to her computer and pulled up their bird-cam. There was the crow she suspected. "You can see it bringing it into the yard. Walks it to the birdbath and actually spends time rinsing this lens cap."

Jumping Cats At Play Look Like Ninjas
Cats are a near-universal symbol of grace and poise – they have excellent balance and are said to always land on their feet. Even when they're up in the air, like these 15 jumping cats at play, they retain a graceful athleticism that most of us lack – on or off the ground.

@Sentinel
He went back to the original owner, but is now with the new one?

Yeah I guess the old owners took him. Not sure. Either way I just found the 64 km walk endearing

so much stress... that's tough.
It looks like a sugar glider/flying possum. But then I googled, there are flying squirrels, which look exactly like that. Flying cats would be awesome.

good point!
there are indeed a certain number of gliding/flying mammals, some of which aren't easy to differentiate...

A few years back i was on a long run taking a turn around Delhi's famous India Gate.First time I see someone taking two goats and a dog for a walk!
As i took the bend, i turned around to see a man walking two dogs. A small dog and a large one.
The small dog had the leash of the large one in his mouth!
Lol the big dog must be scared of the little dog. I saw the goats in Auckland.
One day in Australia I saw a girl riding a horse in a suburban area and then parked her horse on a parking lot of a grocery store, lol.
I don't like it when they ride the horse in the forest because the walking track would be full of horse dung.

Often when i trekked in the Himalayas, the slim trekking route would be full of mule dung, and it would be raining to make things trickier. Add to that, the mules would be carrying tourists on the same route and there was always the danger of getting knocked off the mountain by a mule.

The human-chimp bond captured in an iconic photo
In 1964, Jane Goodall's husband Hugo van Lawick took a photo of her and an infant chimp reaching out to each other. Decades later, it continues to impact how we view chimpanzees.
