Another sad and at the same time beautiful story from Skopje Zoo in Macedonia.
Baby Gibbon Miki from Skopje Zoo, who was abandoned and injured by his mother, is slowly recovering thanks to veterinarians and surrogate mother Zera Bekirovska, who takes care of him day and night, feeds him, changes diapers and sleeps with him because the baby gibbon requires full dedication from the mother, just like children. This is not the first experience as a surrogate mother for zookeeper Zera.
She has also raised the baby monkeys Luka, Dino and Delfina.

I sure woulda appreciated some background as to why a mother gibbon injures her baby. Yikes. I enjoy thinking animals are better than people. This poor little baby has a face only a mother could love, so it’s a good thing Zera Bekirovska exists to love her! (upon thinking further) I spose there may be things I don’t wanna know, and why an animal would hurt its baby is one of those. I’ve had enough human being-hurting-babies stories to last me a lifetime, so I’m grateful not to know Miki’s background after all. Thanks, BP, for not mentally (and emotionally!) scarring me further!
