Adorable rescue baby monkeys were caught on camera having fun with dogs, cats, and other animals at the animal sanctuary they were brought into.
Angel, Dirkie, and Lettie are three Cape baboons that have a lot in common. Besides belonging to the same species, the three monkeys’ lives changed for the better after they were taken in by Harnas Wildlife Foundation in Namibia.
The rescue trio was adopted after Good Samaritans found out that they were orphans with little to no chance of long-term survival.
Despite their tough lives, the baboons instantly became the stars of the animal sanctuary where they befriended animals such as dogs, cats, and warthogs.
“It often happens that orphaned Baboons gets close to the dogs on the farm. They will grow up with these dogs who will act as a comfort since the orphaned babies need to be cared for,” 23-year-old Siff Carlsen of the animal sanctuary said.
“When Lettie was just a month old, she grew a special bond with Panda. When Lettie was on the lawn, Panda would always be nearby. This made Lettie feel safe and so she would follow Panda wherever she went,” Siff added.
“Baboons are extremely social and caring. In their group, they have a social system and hierarchy. They interact a lot with each other. They will groom each other and lip smack at each other to show affection.
“They are also like that with other animals and humans. They will groom you and make sounds and talk to you. They are very loving and clever animals with strong personalities.”
