Strangers Cross Rushing River to Save Stranded Monkey

Two strangers risk the current to rescue a monkey moments from being swept away.

Two strangers rescue a stranded monkey from a rushing river.

A demonstration of nature and nurture was on full display when two strangers crossed a rushing river to save a stranded monkey clinging to a rock for dear life.

She was seconds away from being swept into the current when the rescuers stepped in — no hesitation, no calculation, just instinctive compassion. Huzzah to their thoughtful, good souls.

Moments like this remind us how much more we share with animals than we often admit. When we choose empathy — when we choose to care — we thrive together as one ecosystem with liberties and justice for all.

Well… not all. All except the demon tree monsters of the world.

Get into the heroism below.
