The Tragic Story of the Monkey Who Couldn’t Walk | Monkey Life Season 18 Episode 17

Almost 18 years ago, the sanctuary pulled off one of the largest primate rescues in history, flying 88 abused Capuchin monkeys out of a South American medical testing laboratory. But saving them was only the very beginning of the story. Arriving deeply traumatized, terrified of humans, and with ID numbers literally tattooed onto their skin, the staff faced an overwhelming, epic mission just to identify, group, and calm the massive influx of monkeys. Fast forward to today, the sanctuary is suddenly facing a completely unprecedented hurdle. Watch to discover the hidden, heartbreaking reality of caring for a massive rescue troop decades after their initial freedom, and the incredible ways the dedicated staff are being forced to adapt. 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.
