A worker began vigils outside Kuif s night cage holding bottle and babe. At first, Kuif did her best to hide her keen curiosity; in the chimp world, no one is supposed to approach a newborn without its mother's consent. After two weeks, Roosje was placed inside Kuifs cage, and to the scientists' delight, Kuif immediately cuddled her new charge, took...
