Last Friday the Colobus Trust received a welfare call for a white infant that had falled from its mother onto the ground. It seems like there was a tiff between two troops and one of the mothers dropped her baby as her troop got chased away. The Colobus Trust responded to the call and arrived at the scene shortly after, but the troop that the baby belonged to was gone. After a while the staff that responded to the call were close to having to bring the infant back to the Trust for caring, when finally they managed to find the troop it belonged to. The baby was then placed on the ground, and immediately as the troop heard its alarm calls the mother came down to pick it up and the infant was returned to the troop.

Thanks to the staff’s dedication and determination, this is one loss that the colobus monkeys will not have to face.
