Fly with Mom

The female Yunnan snub nosed monkey gives birth every two years, with a pregnancy period of about 7 months. She is also very careful to take care of the baby monkey. Baby monkeys are generally taken care of by female monkeys. Sometimes other female monkeys in the family also take the responsibility of taking care of baby monkeys.
