Same here. It's a weird combination of cruelty (taking half of one yukkuri's babies) and kindness (giving them to another yukkuri)(and yes I know this is subjective, given yukkuri population numbers).
Also, I'm 99% positive this is the same old man as in post #21978
This is actually cruelty in disguise. Notice that the yukkuri on the right already has a very weak sprout with little dried up ko's. This might mean that this yukkuri is in poor health and can't adequately grow babies, so those newly attached babies will probably also die.
