The greatest action monkey Libby gets baby Lily back from monkey Rainbow

The behavior of pigtail macaques (or any monkey species) "kidnapping" baby monkeys can often be explained by social and natural dynamics within their groups, rather than being intentional "kidnapping" in a human sense.
Here are some common reasons for such behavior :

1) Dominance & social hierarchy
In macaque groups, social rank plays a significant role in interactions. Higher-ranking individuals might take infants from lower-ranking mothers to assert dominance. This behavior reinforces their control within the group.

2) Maternal practice or curiosity
Juvenile or young female monkeys who have not had their own offspring might take babies as a form of "practice" for future parenting. They may be curious & interested in how to care for an infant.

3) Social bonding
Some monkeys may handle or carry infants to form bonds or alliances with the mother. Sharing infant care can strengthen relationships within the group.

4) Aggression or stress
In some cases, taking a baby could be a result OF stress or aggression, especially if the group is under pressure, such as from food shortages, threats from predators.

5) Competition
In extreme cases, females may harm or take babies to reduce competition for resources, mates, or social status within the group.

Outcomes OF the behavior
The results OF such "kidnapping" can vary:
Some infants are safely returned to their mothers after the interaction.
In other cases, if the "kidnapper" is inexperienced or rough, the infant may suffer harm.

Understanding monkey behavior
This behavior is a natural part OF the complex social systems OF monkeys. It reflects their instincts, social dynamics, & sometimes environmental stressors. However, it's not driven by malice or a conscious desire to cause harm, as humans might interpret it.
