:19:25. > :19:29.It was distressing seeing hdr so uncomfortable, she was unable to

:19:59. > :20:02.when her eyes, tongue and lhps started swelling and her face became

:22:13. > :22:16.in the wild. They are critically endangered, only about 45 ldft in

:22:23. > :22:27.species, one of the 25 most endangered primates in Africa. Simon
:22:28. > :22:30.had to hand rear Mubi after her mother began attacking her, but it
:22:31. > :22:34.is hoped this family story will have a happier ending. When Simon comes
:22:35. > :22:37.to work, Mubi comes with hil and she can see her parents through the
