When Baby Charlie arrived at Jungle Friends, he was just a few months old, still on a bottle, and visibly frightened, as seen in the accompanying photo. Confiscated by authorities in Kentucky, where owning "pet" monkeys is prohibited, Baby Charlie found himself in need of a loving home. Luckily, Jungle Friends had two experienced surrogate mothers, Monkers and Zumie, ready to step in. With their maternal instincts and past success in raising confiscated infants, Monkers and Zumie provided Baby Charlie with the care and comfort he needed to thrive. Baby Charlie immediately bonded with Monkers, deciding she was his surrogate mother. Despite not having any milk to offer, Monkers allowed the baby to suckle, providing him with comfort and reassurance. Meanwhile, Baby Charlie found Zumie to be the ideal "big sister." With her youthful energy, Zumie engages in constant play and wrestling matches with Baby Charlie, their lively antics keeping observers entertained and on their toes.
