(Web Desk) - Keepers at Sydney s Taronga Zoo have hand-reared a rare leaf monkey after its mother failed to feed it properly.

 

The orange female has been cared for round the clock since mid-March when keepers stepped in because its mother did not produce enough milk.

 

The Taronga Zoo s staff have spent three months staying overnight, bottle feeding the infant in front of its family members to maintain the bonds.
