It’s not uncommon to see monkeys among people in the busy city of Kanpur, India. But onlookers had never seen anything like this — a hero monkey who revived his friend after the friend was electrocuted.

The injured money fell from high-tension wires above railway tracks after being shocked by an electrical wire, and the hero immediately jumped into the action.
