THE WORLD THIS WEEK: Baby monkeys stolen

Thieves broke into a zoo in Devon and took rare animals including two four-week-old baby monkeys. Experts are worried the black-eared marmoset monkeys won’t survive, as they are very young and need special care. The monkeys were stolen along with a pair of white-fronted marmosets, two pairs of parrots, a pair of cockatoos and a pair of Amazons. The break-in ocurred at Exmoor Zoo in Barnstaple. The baby monkeys were taken from the only breeding colony in the UK. They’re an endangered species and usually live in the Amazon rainforest.
