Motherhood between dogs and gibbons

Two years ago, when a newborn ape was abandoned by his mother in a zoo in Russia, it seemed a gloomy future awaited it. A zoo employee brought it home to take care of. This man's bull dog has adopted a gibbon.

The puppies also show an affection for the orphaned gibbon. They often play and sleep together.

It seems that the gibbon thought it was a dog, because he was eating with a four-legged posture like the puppies.

The gibbon appears satisfied when sleeping with its "adoptive mother".


Animal experts claim dogs are often afraid of primates. So close relationships between gibbons and dogs are rare.


However, sometimes the dog is tired because he has to serve a hyperactive child.
