Anjana the chimp has adopted another puma cub. I say "another" because Anjana the chimp has loads of experience in taking care of big cats: she's already looked after white tigers, leopards and pumas. Anjana the chimp is a sort of volunteer at The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species (TIGERS) in Myrtle Beach, SC.


The link below has some extremely cute photos of Anjana the chimp feeding little baby pumas. Thanks, Anjana, for keeping monkeys newsworthy.

Park director Dr Bhagavan Antle said: 'Chimpanzees are great learners and imitators so it wasn't long before she took on the right behaviours that were necessary to keep the kittens in line.

Great photos and a nice story.  Do tigers eat chimps?
