Macaque emotions

This picture shows a baby macaque in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in China. The little one has lost sight of his horde. After a while of unsuccessful crying, he pauses for a moment, exhausted, and peers into the thicket of the forest. After a few desperate minutes, the mommy tracks down her baby and guides it safely back to the horde.
