Saving A Baby Monkey During A Tough Birth | Secrets Of The Zoo | National Geographic WILD UK

Описание: Tensions are high at the zoo, as veterinary surgeons work earnestly to deliver a baby monkey from its mother, during a tricky cesarean. When the baby is born without a heartbeat, time is of the essence and one vet tries every technique she knows to revive the baby. After stimulating the baby monkey and clearing its airways, sadly, she could not make the transition from her mother’s womb to the world.

A sombre mood takes over the clinic as a life is lost, but the vets must quickly shift focus to ensure that the mother's surgery is completed successfully.
