Monkey Surprises Zookeepers With Human-Looking Babies, The DNA Test Shocks Them

While doing his daily checks in the monkey enclosure, zookeeper Rick found a small baby monkey that he didn’t recognize. He had no idea where the little monkey came from and didn’t remember any of the monkeys even being pregnant that year. So where did he come from?

As Rick looked closer, he realized that this monkey was different than the others at the zoo. So he had a veterinarian run a DNA test on him, and the results were shocking…

It Stood Out From The Others

Rick had never seen an animal like this in his career. Even though he knew it was a monkey, it looked strangely human. But the monkey was still very young, so it might not have grown into its features yet.

But Rick was even more stunned when he noticed that the monkey behaved in a way that no other baby monkey did.

Maybe The Vet Has Answers

Charles was the veterinarian at the zoo and he was an expert at taking care of animals. Many of the animals at the zoo were very fond of him due to his kind and gentle nature. Rick decided that a DNA test would be their best bet to figure out more about the baby monkey and where it came from.

The Needle Wouldn’t Budge

When Charles tried to collect blood for the DNA test, he attempted to use a needle that he frequently used to collect samples. But when he attempted to push it into the monkey’s skin, the needle broke. The vet had never seen anything like this before, but he figured it was a fault needle.

Maybe the next one would work.

His Tools Didn’t Work

Charles got a bigger needle to collect the sample with and attempted to push it through the monkey’s skin. He didn’t want to hurt the baby animal, but it didn’t seem to mind, even though this needle could easily puncture a large adult gorilla.

This needle also snapped while the doctor was applying pressure. Why would this be happening?
