Miracles do happen baby monkey survives high tension jolt.
Electrocuted by high-tension voltage wires on the pole
It was a little after 4 p.m. this evening when I heard a loud boom from the high-tension wires that passed by our house. My first thought was gosh. “Lights Have gone”, I asked Liz if they had gone she replied Nope. I assumed that some large bird had been electrocuted On looking towards the road I saw monkeys on the little hillock and they seemed agitated. Harry had just landed up at that moment I requested him to have a look if an unfortunate monkey had been a victim of the unguarded high-tension wires near the poles. Previously I had witnessed two Palm Civet cats being electrocuted in the same place.
When Harry went to have a look, he was almost attacked by the alpha male and a female monkey. He managed to shoo them away and after a short while saw a diminutive monkey lying in the grass by the side of the stream.
The troupe of monkeys waiting in anticipation.
Apprehensive
The mother monkey sitting guard
When I had gone to see and snap the fallen monkey, the monkeys all moved down and if they had not been threatened by Harry would have probably attacked us.
I next phoned our PFA person and requested that someone be sent to the location to recover the fallen baby monkey.
At around 5 pm Harry noticed movement from the little guy by the side of the stream. My neighbour Bheru had also landed up and he phoned the compounder of the veterinarian department to come and take the little guy to the hospital. At around 4:45 pm when Bheru saw the little fellow dragging himself towards the water of the stream, he jumped down the embankment lifted the little guy and placed him on the rock.
None of us had expected him to survive
After about 10 minutes I suddenly saw the little bloke sit up
Wow, some miracle.
Kaizad from the PFA had landed and had sent his man to get the Baby monkey to
Take it to the vet.
As soon as the little fellow was placed in the van, the mother monkey came running to claim her baby. They put him down on the road, and she immediately picked him up and took off with the rest of the monkeys. Hope he survives.
