Monkey revives electrocuted friend at train station

ANPUR, India, Dec. 22 (UPI) -- A video taken at an Indian train station shows a monkey working for several minutes to revive a compatriot electrocuted by overhead wires.

The video shows an unconscious monkey on the tracks after it received a shock from the wires Saturday at the train station in Anpur and a second monkey is then seen shaking, slapping and biting the unconscious primate for about 20 minutes in an apparent attempt to resuscitate it.

The shocked monkey eventually awakes when its rescuer dunks it in a nearby water puddle and the simians are then seen leaving the scene together while onlookers applaud.
