Human caretakers at the Perm Zoo in Russia are hand-raising a newborn saki monkey named Barbaris after he was rejected by his mother at birth. A video shared on social media showed caretakers feeding the baby monkey milk, fruits and worms. They also use towels and toys to simulate maternal fur contact and preserve his natural clinging behaviour.
