A baboon at a children's petting zoo in Israel has adopted a tiny kitten that recently strayed into its cage.
The kitten has refused to leave the cage and the baboon is not letting her feline friend out of her sight, the zoo's manager said.

Footage filmed by the zoo shows the baboon caring for the kitten, stroking it and checking its fur for fleas as it would care for its own infant. But zoo officials warned that, despite the bond, the pair do not always get along.
The baboon reportedly has been stealing the kitten's food. The zoo's manager said that if that continues, the new friends will have to be separated.
