High in the emerald canopy, a devoted longtail monkey mother cradles her surprisingly big newborn for the first time. His tiny fingers curl tightly into her soft fur, and his bright eyes blink against the morning light. Though he is larger than most infants, she holds him with patience and instinctive care, adjusting her embrace to keep him safe. Pride glows in her watchful gaze as she gently grooms his head and whispers soft, comforting sounds. Around them, leaves rustle in celebration of new life. Brave and protective, she welcomes her strong baby into the wild world with fearless love.
