The story of wildlife includes both new life and difficult moments. At Phnom Pros Phnom Srey, August and September 2026 brought several newborn monkeys into the troop, but there were also heartbreaking losses.
This article records four recent stillbirths involving Mama JUTA, Mama MELONA, Mama MONY, and Mama ROMAN.
These events are documented separately from the stories of the healthy newborns because every mother and every pregnancy is part of the wider story of the monkey community.
Mama JUTA
Mama JUTA recently gave birth to a stillborn baby.
The loss of a newborn is a difficult event to witness, and it is important to describe it without speculation. No cause has been provided for JUTA’s stillbirth, so this article does not assume or suggest what happened.
JUTA’s experience remains part of the documented history of the monkey troop at Phnom Pros Phnom Srey.
Mama MELONA
Mama MELONA also experienced the loss of a stillborn baby.
As with JUTA, the information available records the stillbirth but does not establish a specific cause.
Wildlife observation requires patience and care when documenting events like this. A respectful record should focus on what was actually observed rather than adding explanations that have not been confirmed.
Mama MONY
Mama MONY was another mother who recently experienced a stillbirth.
The event represents a difficult part of the troop’s reproductive history.
While the birth of a healthy baby often receives attention because of the excitement surrounding new life, losses are also part of the realities faced by wild animals.
Documenting these events respectfully can provide a more complete record of the troop and its changing population.
Mama ROMAN
Mama ROMAN also gave birth to a stillborn baby during this recent period.
As with the other three mothers, there is no confirmed information here about why the stillbirth occurred.
For that reason, it is important to avoid assigning blame or creating an explanation without evidence.
A Respectful Record of the Troop
The four mothers—JUTA, MELONA, MONY, and ROMAN—are now part of the documented reproductive history of the monkey community at Phnom Pros Phnom Srey.
At the same time, other mothers in the troop successfully gave birth during August 2026. Mama SABE welcomed SABLE on 18 August, Mama LAURA welcomed LAUREL on 21 August, Mama SUSAN welcomed SUNNY on 23 August, and Mama SARIKA welcomed SARI on 30 August.
These stories are intentionally documented separately.
The healthy newborn stories focus on growth, exploration, learning, and the development of young monkeys. This article instead remembers the four mothers who experienced the loss of their newborns.
Why These Stories Matter
Wildlife stories are not always simple stories of happy births and growing babies. A natural population includes births, development, survival, challenges, and losses.
Recording both sides of that story can help create a more honest long-term history of the troop.
The purpose of documenting these stillbirths is not to sensationalize the loss. Instead, it is to preserve a respectful record of what happened to four mothers within the monkey community.
Mama JUTA, Mama MELONA, Mama MONY, and Mama ROMAN each experienced the loss of a newborn. Their stories deserve to be remembered with the same care and respect given to the stories of the babies who survived.
For 3B-Animals, documenting wildlife means observing what happens in the natural community and preserving those observations for people who want to learn more about the lives of these monkeys.
