In a shocking and heartbreaking incident, Monkey Julina, a gentle and curious young monkey known for her playful nature, suffered a painful accident after getting a fish hook lodged in her mouth. The distressing event unfolded near a local fishing spot where Julina, like many monkeys in the area, often roams in search of food scraps and interaction with people.
According to witnesses, Julina was exploring the riverside when she curiously picked up what appeared to be bait attached to a discarded fishing line. In a tragic twist, the bait had a sharp fish hook hidden inside it. As she bit down, the hook pierced into her soft mouth tissue, causing her immediate pain and panic. Horrified onlookers reported that Julina let out loud cries and began running frantically, trying to escape the pain and confusion.
What happened next was both heartbreaking and inspiring. Despite her injury, Julina showed incredible strength and survival instincts. She ran into the nearby forest, her movements desperate and erratic as she tried to free herself from the hook. Her caretakers and several concerned locals quickly organized a search to find her and provide medical help, but Julina had vanished into the thick foliage.
For hours, then days, there were no signs of Julina, and concern grew over her well-being. Many feared that the embedded hook could lead to infection or worse. But in an unexpected twist, Julina emerged near her familiar territory three days later—wounded, tired, but without the hook in her mouth.
Caretakers believe that during her time in the wild, Julina’s persistent movements and attempts to scratch or bite at the hook eventually loosened it enough to fall out. Miraculously, she managed to avoid serious infection or further injury. She was immediately brought in for medical attention, where veterinarians cleaned the wound and administered antibiotics.
Though visibly thinner and shaken, Julina is now recovering in a safe and quiet space. Her story has sparked a wave of emotion and awareness online, especially about the dangers of littered fishing gear in areas inhabited by wildlife.
Julina’s ordeal is a powerful reminder of how human negligence can impact innocent animals — but also how resilience and hope can turn tragedy into survival.
