A monkey living in a British zoo tried to adopt a pet toad.
Swoozie - who lives at Paignton Zoo in Devon, England - astounded visitors as it played with the amphibian for hours in her enclosure, even trying to warm it up and cuddling it like a baby.
Sheila Hassanein, who was enjoying a day out at the zoo, said: "The monkey was trying to shield it from view, she was treating it as if it was her baby and she was trying to protect it.
"She was rubbing it as if she was trying to warm it up, but of course it's a cold-blooded reptile. It was very strange."
However, the seven-year-old female's plans for a new friend were short lived, when the slippery toad eventually managed to escape.
