There’s no denying that a mother’s gratitude after a reunion with an infant wandered off course is the most striking emotion, as is depicted by a worried Mama lion tamarin in this video. A tiny lion tamarin species monkey had separated from its mother and was lurking desperately when a good samaritan came to its rescue. The nearly 20 seconds emotionally impactful footage of the kind gesture was shared by the Indian Forest Officer Susanta Nanda on Twitter. The clip, in which a man can be seen reuniting the mama-baby lion tamarin, has earned the doer of the deed ‘great respect’ from the viewers. “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth,” Susanta captioned the video that has racked up close to 14.2 k views and umpteen virtual hearts in the comments thread.
As the footage starts, a tiny baby lion tamarin is seen stranded between a mound of stones. It sprints anxiously, unable to find a pathway to return to its mother, who, on the other hand, is seen searching for her little one. Meanwhile, a kind-hearted pedestrian spots the animal and stops by to help. He cautiously removes the stones, one each at a time, trying not to hurt the infant monkey as he pulls the scared animal out and keeps it on the surface for its mother to spot. While he waits, the mother lion tamarin races towards her little one, who sprints with tiny feet, equally fast to hug its mother. The duo embrace each other in a tight hug as the mother monkey is seemingly delighted and relieved at the same time, briefly staring at the man, appearing full of gratitude.
