Newborn Chimp Rejected By His Mother Cuddles Plush Monkey And Sees It As Real Mom
Well, mothers occasionally leave their offspring. And Djibril the baby chimpanzee is unlucky to be left alone several hours after he was born. But what else is more important to a child rather than its mother's love?
The mom chimpanzee, Kila, lacked maternal skills and abandoned Djibril at a zoo in Malaga, Spain. He instead found comfort in a plush monkey that zookeepers made for him to provide him with something they could never provide.
Keepers hoped to find an adoptive mom who could raise Djibril as her own. During that time, they had to stand-in parents taking care of the newborn.
Now, one year since his adoption, Djibril totally enjoys his new family. That's the thing all of us wish for him. Thank all people and organizations for helping the baby chimpanzee and bringing him a better future.
