Cat Adopts Cute Baby Monkey

A 16-year-old cat has adopted a baby monkey which was abandoned by its mother in a Russian zoo. The mother of the 3-week-old squirrel monkey refused to carry him on her back – which would have been essential for it to survive the first months of its life. The director of Tyumen Zoo carried out an experiment and introduced him to her cat, who has never had babies of her own. The cat surprisingly adopted the monkey and the animals have been living together ever since.
