The baby monkey that thinks its mum's a teddy bear

This little monkey is missing her mummy so to make sure she's not losing out zoo keepers have given her a teddy bear to cuddle.



Conchita is a three-week-old white-naped mangabey monkey who is being hand-reared at London Zoo.

The tiny primate keeps hold of her teddy bear companion while her mother recovers from a caesarean. But it's not all down to the teddy, as this mini-monkey is also being looked after by keeper, Andrea Payne.



The species, which are native to West Africa, are on the critically endangered list following loss of habitat.
