It’s always nice to observe infant animals interacting, especially when they’re from different species. This time, a young monkey and his five duckling pals are stealing hearts everywhere. These unlikely friends were recently captured on video enjoying quality time together, and it’s the sweetest thing I’ve seen in a long time!
The priceless eight-minute video was shot about a month ago and has already received over 45 million views. However, falling in love with it takes only a few seconds. Seeing a newborn monkey take care of five baby ducks as if they were his siblings would put a big grin on your face and a spark in your heart.
It’s unknown how the ducklings and their companion came to be friends, but the closeness they have is undeniable. While the young ducks cling to the monkey as if he were their mother, the baby monkey is continually reaching out to hug his even smaller companions.
However, after chasing each other for a bit, everyone became hungry. As a result, they instinctively eat together. While the lovely ducklings offer some boiled rice, the baby monkey sips from his nutrient-rich bottle of milk. You’d think they’d sleep after such a dinner, but they don’t — fun continues.
The ducklings follow their monkey buddies everywhere, but when he climbs a three, things get a little more complex. At one point, he wonders why his fluffy companions aren’t following him, until he notices them at the bottom of the three.
It’s the nicest thing to watch these adorable young gentlemen hanging out all day. Take a look at the images below!
