What happens next has amazed viewers across social media. Seeing their companion in danger, the entire troop of monkeys leaps into the river without hesitation. Ignoring the deadly threat posed by the crocodile, the monkeys swim together towards the other side of the riverbank, surrounding the predator in a rare and bold show of collective defence.

Faced with the unexpected resistance and chaos created by the troop, the crocodile is seen retreating, eventually abandoning its attack. The monkeys then regroup, ensuring their injured companion is safe before moving away from the riverbank.

The video has quickly gone viral, with users calling it an “incredible display of animal instinct,” “pure loyalty,” and a “lesson in unity.” Many praised the monkeys for standing together in the face of danger, noting how rare it is to witness such coordinated defensive behaviour against a natural predator.

Wildlife enthusiasts have pointed out that while monkeys are known for strong social bonds, confronting a crocodile is extremely risky. The incident highlights both the intelligence and emotional depth seen in social animals when one of their group is threatened.
