Hero Monkey Revives Simian Pal Electrocuted in India This footage is copyright owned by Wilderness Films India Ltd. - wildfilmsindia on Youtube! Passengers at a train station in India watched a monkey attempt to revive a fellow monkey that was shocked unconscious by electrical wires. The simian rescue occurred after one of the monkeys was electrocuted while walking on high-voltage wires, according to Reuters. In this video footage from Kanpur in India, the monkey appears to try to wake up the other monkey by patting it and dragging it into a pool of water, while ticket-holders standing on the platform watch and snap photos with their smartphones. After about 20 minutes, passengers could be heard cheering when the unconscious monkey seems to come back to life. THIS little monkey is a real hero, saving the life of another primate who fell unconscious after receiving an electric shock in India. The stricken monkey was shocked by the voltage while walking on high tension wires in Kanpur railway station. It fell onto the tracks and all hope seemed to be lost as it slipped beneath the rails. The conscious monkey tried to revive the other by hitting, biting and tipping him in water. After about 20 minutes the electrocuted monkey started to show signs of life and began moving again. The stunning series of events was captured by our correspondent, with the amazing scene played out in front of hordes of amazed onlookers. Do monkeys know how to give CPR?

A male companion monkey is then seen apparently trying to revive his comrade. The monkey bites and drags the limp animal and even douses it in water. After about 20 minutes, the injured monkey revives. Luisa Arnedo, a National Geographic grants program officer who earned her Ph.D. studying primates, says the animals in the video are rhesus macaques, which are native to India and much of Asia and are frequently seen in cities. Acknowledging Death? Arnedo adds that there is little research into how nonhuman primates deal with death since the events are seldom observed. However, scientists have occasionally seen primates react to death, "in many cases by shaking the body of the dead animal, as not accepting its immobility, and also reacting by rough behaviors seemingly aimed at reanimation." Chimpanzees have been seen becoming very quiet when a member of their group dies, especiall
