The week old chimpanzee Benson hadn t quite got the hang of suckling up to mum Rosie
The week old chimpanzee Benson hadn t quite got the hang of suckling up to mum Rosie, so it took a little encouragement to get him feeding. Rosie, the mother was handreared by her keeper from birth, so it was that much more important to get Benson feeding well. With Benson, there are now four generations of chimpanzees at Chester Zoo. Rosie had another baby chimp Botham last year who died at 3 months, so shes taking extra special care of Benson. November 1986 P004094

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print from November 1986, we witness the tender bond between a week-old chimpanzee named Benson and his mother Rosie at Chester Zoo. However, little Benson hadn't quite figured out how to suckle up to his mom yet, so he needed some encouragement to start feeding. Luckily for him, Rosie was handreared by her keeper since birth, making it even more crucial for Benson's well-being. This image captures the dedication and care that goes into raising these incredible creatures. It is evident that Rosie understands the importance of nourishing her baby after tragically losing another chimp named Botham last year when he was only three months old. With such a heartbreaking experience behind her, Rosie takes extra special care of Benson. Chester Zoo proudly boasts four generations of chimpanzees within its walls, showcasing their commitment to conservation and preserving these magnificent animals' lineage. The connection between mother and child is undeniable in this photograph as they navigate their way through early stages of bonding. The innocence and vulnerability displayed by young Benson are truly captivating. This snapshot serves as a reminder of the beauty found in nature's most precious creations – families formed through love and nurturance.
