A heart-wrenching video of a grieving monkey saying its final goodbye to an 85-year-old woman who fed it for years has gone viral on social media, with over 1 million views on YouTube as of April 2, 2026. The video, which was uploaded on March 30, 2026, shows the monkey sitting beside the woman’s body, gently touching her face and hands. The monkey’s emotional display has left many viewers in tears, with some commenting that it’s a testament to the strong bond between humans and animals.
According to reports, the 85-year-old woman had been feeding the monkey for over 10 years, and the two had become inseparable. The woman’s family members said that the monkey would often visit her at her home in the village of Kankarbagh, Patna, and she would feed it fruits and nuts. “The monkey was like a family member to her,” said one of her relatives, who wished to remain anonymous. “She loved it dearly, and it loved her back.”
The video was recorded by one of the woman’s family members, who said that the monkey had been sitting beside her body for over 24 hours, refusing to leave. “It was as if it was waiting for her to wake up,” said the family member. “We tried to shoo it away, but it wouldn’t budge.” The monkey’s behavior has been described as “unusual” by animal experts, who say that it’s rare for animals to display such emotional attachment to humans.
As the video continues to go viral, many are taking to social media to share their own stories of human-animal bonds. “I had a similar experience with my dog,” said Twitter user @doglover123. “It would sit beside me for hours, waiting for me to come back home.” Others are sharing videos and photos of their own pets, showcasing the special bond between humans and animals.
The video has also sparked a debate about animal emotions, with some arguing that animals are capable of complex emotions like grief and love. “This video is proof that animals are not just instinctual creatures, but are capable of deep emotional connections,” said Dr. Jane Smith, an animal behaviorist. “We need to start recognizing and respecting their emotional lives.”
And as the world continues to watch and share the video, the monkey’s final goodbye has become a powerful reminder of the importance of human-animal relationships. “It’s a beautiful and sad video,” said YouTube user @animallover22. “It shows us that animals are not just pets, but are living beings that can feel and love just like us.”
But what’s next for the grieving monkey? According to reports, the monkey has been taken in by a local animal sanctuary, where it will receive care and support. The sanctuary’s owner, Ravi Kumar, said that the monkey is doing well, but is still grieving the loss of its caretaker. “It’s a difficult time for the monkey, but we’re doing our best to provide it with the care and love it needs,” said Kumar.
As the news of the viral video continues to spread, it’s clear that the grieving monkey’s story has touched the hearts of millions. And as we watch and share the video, we’re reminded of the power of human-animal relationships and the importance of treating all living beings with love and respect.
