Monkey Adopts Kitten
By Anne Young A young long tailed macaque monkey has adopted an abandoned kitten at Ubud’s Monkey Forest in Bali. The monkey was even wary of other macaques and would not allow other young males to get too close . The reserve is inhabited by about 340 monkeys in four groups. It is considered sacred by locals and visited by about 10,000 tourists each month . It is not known how the cat came to be in the company of the macaques. The young long-tailed macaque monkey was snapped protectively nuzzling the little cat by amateur wildlife photographer Anne Young. Ms Young was visiting the Monkey Forest Park in the Ubud region of Bali when the shots were taken. Macaques are the most widespread genus of primate on the planet besides humans.
