Why This Newborn Had to Be Taken from Its Mother | Monkey Life | Season 2 Episode 7

A rare, highly endangered woolly monkey has just given birth at the sanctuary. But excitement quickly turns to absolute terror as keepers realize the mother has no idea how to hold her baby safely. The fragile newborn is spotted dangling dangerously upside down by its legs and tail while the mother wildly swings and jumps around the high enclosure. Watch the incredibly tense moment the sanctuary team is forced to make a drastic, life-or-death decision: use a blowpipe to sedate the mother and steal the baby before it falls to its death! Monkey Life follows the work of Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre with nail-biting rescue and rehabilitation stories. Whilst there are primates in need, Dr. Alison Cronin, Jeremy Keeling and their dedicated team continue to fight the illegal trade in primates and give those rescued a safe haven for the rest of their lives.
