A zoo in Russia's western city of Tyumen has adopted an abandoned baby squirrel monkey, with the foster care being provided by a cat. So far things are going well, as the baby monkey and foster mother seem to be getting along quite well.
Zoo provides baby monkey with cat as foster mother |
Fyodor the squirrel monkey is only 3 weeks old. His foster mother, Rosinka, is a 16-year-old cat. Fyodor clings to Rosinka's back no matter where she goes. Except for when he needs to be fed baby milk. Fyodor will go back to live with his family in a month.
