A heartbreaking tragedy struck deep in the heart of the village when a young monkey unknowingly climbed a power pole in search of food or shelter. Curious and playful by nature, he had no idea of the danger that awaited above. As he reached the tangled cluster of wires, his small hands touched a live electric cable — and in a split second, a powerful shock surged through his tiny body.
The monkey let out a sharp scream of pain as electricity jolted through him. The force of the shock threw him backward, and he plummeted from the pole, crashing down to a lower branch. But the nightmare didn’t end there. Startled and dazed, he tried to grab onto anything nearby to stop his fall, but his strength was gone. He continued falling, hitting branch after branch, before finally landing hard on the ground below.
He lay there trembling, his fur scorched in patches and his limbs twitching. Villagers who heard the loud cries and saw the sparks from the pole rushed to the scene. The sight brought tears to their eyes — a once-active and playful monkey now suffering, barely conscious and in critical condition.
Kind-hearted rescuers wrapped the monkey in a blanket and rushed him to the nearest wildlife rescue center. The damage was severe. He had deep burns on his hands and feet, and his body was bruised from the fall. The veterinary team worked tirelessly to stabilize him, giving him fluids, treating his burns, and easing his pain.
Though the road to recovery will be long, there is hope. The little monkey has shown signs of strength — a small blink, a soft movement, a gentle breath. He is a fighter. His tragic accident serves as a reminder of how human development and wildlife are clashing every day.
With compassion and care, this injured monkey now has a chance to heal. While his fall was long and painful, loving hands have caught him, and they won’t let him fall again.
