Baby chimpanzee hugs toy monkey until he finds his mother

This baby is a young monkey who had to learn to exist on his own when his mother abandoned him at the zoo after he was born.
The guardians must act as the young boy’s surrogate parents while they are looking for an adoptive mother.

The monkey found a new family in the zoo when he was 16 months old.

Animal welfare is sought in this sanctuary, offering a suitable natural environment to promote their comfort and recovery. The little boy was placed there with his adopted mother.

The little boy arrived in the summer and at first had difficulties. He was placed with a chimpanzee who did not show interest in welcoming the newborn, but another monkey in the group came in to protect and care for the baby.

She had no previous experience as a mother, but when she met the baby, her instincts began to awaken, and they worked together to overcome all obstacles.

The little monkey is extremely important for the survival of endangered subspecies. It is a member of the so-called Western chimpanzee, a species that is endangered in its homeland.

Elsewhere, these monkeys are on the verge of extinction.
We must protect and preserve nature and animals at all costs.
