A grieving mother monkey is seen refusing to leave the lifeless body of her baby who died just two days after birth at a zoo in north-west China.
The heart-wrenching moment was filmed at the Xiangyang Zoo in Hubei province on Monday, showing the distraught mother sitting in an enclosure with the infant draped in her arms.
The mother tries to wake her baby up by stroking its forehead and kissing its cheeks, but to no avail.
