Saving Pichiku, the red titi monkey without a mum

A tiny red titi monkey is thriving after zoo keepers intervened when his mum Bella died after giving birth.

Now two and a half months old and still weighing just 162g, his survival has been down to a team of keepers providing round-the-clock care and feeds three times a day.

Pichiku, meaning little monkey, is one of the only titi monkeys successfully hand reared to this age.
