Orphaned Baby Chimpanzee Recovers After Falling From Tree as Mom Was Killed by Poachers
An injured baby chimpanzee has been given a second chance at life after being orphaned by the poachers that killed her mother. It is believed that the infant was destined for illegal pet trade and her mother was likely killed for bushmeat.
A ranger at Sapo National Park in the Liberian rainforest of West Africa rushed to investigate after hearing shots fired. It was too late to help the mother, but the infant chimpanzee, which sustained injuries on her face and head due to falling from a tree, was rescued.
Her trip of a lifetime was documented for the BBC America documentary, Baby Chimp Rescue.
