The Tiny 3-Kilo Baby His Mother Refused to Feed | Monkey Life | Season 18 Episode 1

When a massive adult orangutan cradles her newborn but refuses to let him nurse, handlers face a race against the clock to save the fragile infant's life. Eleven-week-old Sibu Jr. has been painstakingly hand-reared inside a guest apartment at Dublin Zoo after his mother failed to care for him. Weighing just three kilograms, this tiny, vulnerable male represents a high-stakes cross-border relocation operation. To ensure his survival, Dr. Allison Cronin must execute a lengthy journey across the Irish Sea to bring him to the European crèche for orphaned apes. Watch the emotional moment Allison finally handles the noisy, teething infant, assessing his physical health and preparing him for the intense, 24-hour round-the-clock care system waiting for him in England. 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.
