Pictured: The baby monkey that thinks its mum's a teddy bear

dailymail.co.uk — This little monkey is missing her mummy so to make sure she's not losing out zoo keepers have given her a teddy bear to cuddle. Conchita is a three-week-old white-naped mangabey monkey who is being hand-reared at London Zoo. The tiny primate keeps hold of her teddy bear companion while her mother recovers from a caesarean.

  • gamche, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1Ya, the pics are worth looking past the source although the source has a few misspellings this caption comes to mind "The playful mangabey monkey is being had-reared while her mother revcovers from a caesarean." Its funny really when an editor misses things like that.
