A hand-reared monkey has been given a mechanical surrogate mother to help keep her company. After the birth of the female DeBrazza's monkey by caesarean at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Kent her mother was too weak to look after her. To help keep her company, the three-week-old primate has been given a toy monkey with a mechanical heart. The zoo's head of primates, Simon Jeffery, said they hoped to re-unite the infant with her parents soon. (source: news.bbc.co.uk)
