A cute video has emerged of a newborn Sulawesi crested macaque bonding with its mother at Chester zoo, UK on Monday.

"The species is highly threatened with extinction in the wild," the filmer wrote online.

"They are monkeys even though you can't spot the tail, which is usually the difference between monkey and an ape. In this case the tail is extremely truncated and difficult to spot," they added.

Just look at that cute face! A new born Sulawesi crested macaque baby from the Chester Zoo suckling and clinging to mum. The species is highly threatened with extinction in the wild. They are monkeys even though you can't spot the tail, which is usually the difference between monkey and an ape. In this case the tail is extremely truncated and difficult to spot.
