A baby chimpanzee has slept in a wildlife park owner’s bed for a month after the mammal was rejected by her mother.
Staff at Wingham Wildlife Park in Kent have been hand-rearing Jane since she was born in February and documenting her progress on the visitor attraction’s YouTube channel.
The 11-week-old is the third western chimpanzee, a critically endangered species, to be born at the park in the past eight years.
Managing director Tony Binskin said Jane “was in our bed with us while my wife slept on her back for one month, because the baby chimps sleep on the front”.
