In a heart-warming instance, a monkey helped a kitten in crossing a busy Mancherial-Khanapur-Utnoor road by holding the little one in its hands at Indaram village in Jannaram mandal in the core of the Kawal Tiger Reserve. The touching scene was captured by Namaste Telangana’s Mancherial district photographer Srinivas Varshini on Sunday.

The mother monkey, who was carrying her own baby on her back, came to the rescue of the kitten that was struggling to reach the other side of the busy road. The monkey carefully took the kitten into its hands and then crossed the road which witnesses heavy movement of traffic including trucks, cars, motor-cycles and other goods carriers.
