Video captured the touching scene as a rescuer carefully cut free a baby monkey caught in netting, despite the seeming ingratitude - or perhaps lack of comprehension - of its mother nearby.

Filmed in Baripada, Odisha, on 29 October, rescuer Krishna Gochhait uses scissors to cut free the trapped monkey before giving it some water and releasing it.

All the while, two monkeys, one of them presumed to be the mother, bark angrily at the selfless hero.

As soon as the baby is release though, they calm down and leave the scene with the rescued child.

In a touching tale of compassion and rescue, a baby monkey found itself in a perilous situation when its head became entangled in a rope in Eastern India.

The heartwarming rescue unfolded when a concerned homeowner spotted the baby monkey in distress and immediately called for help. Rescuer Krishna Gochhait swiftly arrived at the scene, ready to lend a helping hand.

Rescuing the little primate proved to be a challenging task, as the baby monkey's mother stood guard protectively. For a tense 30 minutes, the rescuer worked diligently to carefully free the baby from the rope. After the successful rescue, the compassionate rescuer provided the baby monkey with water and placed it by a window. In an incredible display of maternal love, the mother monkey leaped to the rescue and reunited with her precious offspring.

This heartwarming incident serves as a beautiful reminder that the bond between mother and child knows no boundaries and is not exclusive to humans; it extends to the animal kingdom as well.

The heart-touching rescue took place in Baripada, within the Mayurbhanj district of Odisha on the 29th of October, leaving a lasting impression of kindness and compassion in the hearts of all who witnessed it.
