Orphaned Baby Monkey Finds Companionship With Baby Deer

A baby patas monkey who was brought to Greenfingers Wildlife Sanctuary in Lagos, Nigeria after being taken from his mother, found wonderful companionship amongst all the animals, especially a baby deer who was close to his own age. After awhile, the pair became absolutely inseparable. A second monkey joined into the little group, healing one another until they were ready to be prepared for release into the wild.

A rescued baby monkey orphan meets a baby deer orphan and can’t stop hugging her! This unlikely friendship helps them both heal and grow. Now, they’re getting ready to be set free back in the wild.
