TRANSCRIPT
Elsewhere in the forest, Spy Bushbaby is helping document an equally unique event.
One of the older chimps is playing with a tiny kitten!
It's the offspring of a genet cat found abandoned in the forest.
He treats it gently, mindful not to hurt it.
Even a nip is tolerated.
The way he responds to the genet is quite remarkable.
Other chimps are intrigued.
And one shows an unwelcome interest.
This chimp is used to having his own way.
But without any feelings for the kitten, he's a bit too rough.
The owner shows real concern and intervenes to protect his vulnerable pet.
And takes it from harm's way.
