Monkey 'Gives Pal Mouth-To-Mouth' Like Human After She 'Collapses To Ground'

Wildlife photographer William Steel snapped the dramatic moment shared between two vervet monkeys in the Gaborone Game Reserve in Botswana. He said one was "seemingly administering CPR".

Wildlife photographer William Steel was taking pictures of vervet monkeys in Botswana's Gaborone Game Reserve when he noticed one female being, well, a little dramatic. She had flopped herself down on her back with her legs and arms extended outward. Shortly, a male monkey came along and did something Steel was not expecting: The monkey gives mouth-to-mouth to the female or at least that's what it looks like. The reality is actually far from the truth: The female monkey was not lacking in oxygen, but more-so attention. She put on the dramatic little show so another monkey would come over and groom her.
