Baby monkey stuck in 20 foot well is reunited with its parents

A baby monkey was rescued with the help of kindhearted villagers after it got stuck inside a 20ft-deep well. A group of apes had gone down the nearly-dried well in search of water in Maharashtra, India.

After quenching its thirst, one of the monkeys appeared to get scared and didn’t know how to climb back up again.

It was then that the villagers came to its rescue after dropping a rope tied to a wooden block outside the well in order to help the monkey climb out. In the video, the little ape holding the rope and climbing up while its mother waits near the edge of the well.

As soon as the baby monkey reaches near the top, the mother extends her hand and pulls it up. Later another monkey followed to check if the baby needed an extra hand.

They both then looks down the well to assure everyone was out and then make off.

One of the villagers who rescued the baby said: ‘The baby monkey got stuck inside in fear and didn’t know how to climb. ‘We then dropped a rope in order to help it, it was quite risky as there were no steps inside the well.’
