Summary
Apenhaul zoo in the Netherlands has finally breathed a sigh of relief after baby primate Daholo, a Crowned Sifaka, on the list of endangered species, has been finally accepted by his mother after she initially refused to breast-feed him. Crowned sifakas are amongst the oldest living primates in the world,having been around for an estimated 65 million years, but today they are on the critically endangered list. The IUCN (International Conservation Union) estimates there are only between 100 and 1,000 of them left in the wild and conservationists are breeding them in captivity to try and keep them alive.
