KUNMING, China – Workers at a Chinese nature reserve took video of a baby monkey resisting his release back into the wild by clinging to the leg of a feeder.
Two baby monkeys were released this week in Jingdong county, Yunnan Province, but Nature Bureau Reserve staff said one of the monkeys refused to join his comrade and instead clung to the leg of the man who has been feeding him.
The feeder said the monkey was rescued from a wildlife smuggler and was apparently not ready to go off on his own.
