While navigating a river in Mato Grosso, Brazil, Renato Borella along with his guide Neco observed a black tail flailing in the water close to some marshlands. Believing it to be a drowning dog, Neco quickly threw a life jacket towards it for rescue.
The accompanying video captures the moment Renato and Neco observe the creature clinging onto the life jacket, struggling to survive. It’s at this point they realize, upon seeing its face, that the creature is not a dog but a local monkey species. Despite the known aggressive nature of the male monkeys towards humans, Renato and Neco chose to set aside their fears and help the monkey onto their boat.

As the muscular primate climbs up the vessel, the men tremble in terror at his cold countenance. The monkey, on the other hand, gracefully perches himself on the prow of the boat and simply indicates toward land. The crew understands and steers them in the right direction.

When the boat docks, a monkey grabs a tree limb and vanishes into the woods. The men believe that the monkey was kicked out of his troop, which explains why he was alone and why he attempted to flee. They are moved by the Monkey’s kind side, and they wish him well in future endeavors. We express our gratitude to Renato and Neco for this brave rescue!
