Baby Orphaned Chimp Gets Adopted by Dog

Four years ago, a chimpanzee at a Russian zoo passed away and left behind a sweet little baby chimpanzee. A zookeeper realized the little one wouldn’t live long without special care so she brought it to her home. He never would have survived on his own and needed help to remain healthy just like these baby sea turtles received help from volunteers.

She didn’t know how her Mastiff would react to the small chimp but surprisingly, they started getting along. The Mastiff recently had a small litter of pups and she would treat the chimp as her own and would give him the love he needed.

I think one of the most amazing things about animals is their ability to adapt to their environment. They can sense each other’s fears and needs and care for one another in a way that is truly amazing. Their instincts are simply incredible, and it’s something we can all learn from.
