The Disney-like moment was captured on film. Photographer Dafna Ben Nun, 38, captured the incredible real life Disney moment whilst on a trip to Zimbabwe. "It was just a split second, but it was fascinating to watch!"

I couldn't help to think, after reading this story, if some monkeys believe in a divine creator. I'm also open to the possibility that the monkey simply held the baby like that to get a look at it's back.

She’s actually trying to wrest her baby from the grip of the All-Devouring Sun, who really likes eating babies of all primate species.

I was thinking that the baby probably had a little turd stuck to its butt and the parent was just trying to get a better look at the situation to figure how best to resolve that issue

I'm glad you posted that link, because someone had to. That's one that gets funnier every loop.

I love the animals cheering at the end. "Sic temper tyrannis! Long live the Animal Republic!"
