Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
The Monkey that
Became a Midwife
Very amazing photos
to anyone and a surprising act to any natural, particularly mammal, scientists.
A middle-aged female white-head monkey acted as a midwife helping another young
female monkey deliver a baby! Furthermore, the midwife monkey did it and the
mother monkey had her do it pretty much as-a-matter-of-factly. To prove the act
was to help the delivery, the midwife monkey licked the new-born baby and
handed it to its mother. This is very surprising and unexpected because in some
other primate species, kidnapping a new born is quite a common practice.
Enjoy reading the
article and seeing the amazing photos.
