Topic Reading-Vol.916-10/14/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
The Monkey that Became a Midwife
Very amazing photos to anyone and a surprising act to any natural, particularly mammal, scientists. A middle-aged female white-head monkey acted as a midwife helping another young female monkey deliver a baby! Furthermore, the midwife monkey did it and the mother monkey had her do it pretty much as-a-matter-of-factly. To prove the act was to help the delivery, the midwife monkey licked the new-born baby and handed it to its mother. This is very surprising and unexpected because in some other primate species, kidnapping a new born is quite a common practice.
Enjoy reading the article and seeing the amazing photos.
