Lion cub and monkey have a wild time together
IT MAY be just a lion fling, but for now this monkey has an unusual best friend...a lion cub.
The 34-day-old lion has become close to the monkey since it was born two-and-a-half weeks ago. This is because both their mothers lack breast milk and they are hand-fed together by keepers at the Guaipo Manchurian Tiger Park in Shenyang, China.
Although the cub is happy for the monkey to hitch a ride and they enjoy a rough and tumble together, it is not yet known what will happen when the lion moves on to solids.
