I am not understanding about that eye cleaning at the end. Mom seems a bit obsessed with those eyes. I have seen other mothers do that from what was said they can be so into this eye cleaning to where the baby can go blind!!! please don't let this the case. that is really strange. and if you watch she does it in just about all clips shown of her. Tell me I am wrong someone!?!
They are licking the salt and moisture in the babies eyes for their own personal pleasure. It's a wonder any of them in captivity survive. I saw a video of a tocque macaque making her milk full baby vomit so she could eat it and was continually licking its eyes.
Yes, that is my confusion. I did not realize that the mother let the baby off of her stomach much less that far away from her at that young age. Is this a unique situation or is this normal?
