A little bee monkey is recovering with help from staff at the
Guangxi Wildlife Rescue Center in Nanning, capital of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
The newborn bee monkey weighed only 13 grams when it was sent to
the rescue center a week ago. Now it weighs 18.5 grams.
The bee monkey, which had been abandoned by its mother, was in
poor health when it arrived at the center.
During the past week, the staff from the rescue center fed it
milk and honey and used electric heaters to help keep it warm.
Rescue center staff have grown to think of the bee monkey as
their adoptive child.
