A heartbroken baby monkey was filmed clinging onto its dead mother in desperation in harrowing footage that moved locals to tears
The little ape was left devastated after seeing its mum get electrocuted and die while hopping on electricity poles.
In heart-wrenching footage filmed at the side of a road in Lakshameswar in Karnataka, Southern India, the monkey can be seen hugging its mum's carcass as it tried to wake her up.
Locals had positioned the parent on a wooden box and laid floral garland around its neck in a religious farewell.
