The caregivers had to serve as the child’s surrogate parents while they searched for an adoptive mother who could provide the care that humans were incapable of providing. He found comfort in a stuffed monkey during that period.
16-month-old Djibril was relocated to the BIOPARK Valencia animal sanctuary.

In this sanctuary, the animals’ comfort and rehabilitation are prioritized by providing them with a natural habitat that is conducive to their well-being. There, the child was entrusted with Eva, an adoptive mother.

Little Djibril’s beginnings were anything but straightforward when he arrived at BIOPARK Valencia for the first time in July 2019. He was assigned to Malin, a chimpanzee, but she was uninterested in providing for him. Thankfully, Eva, another ape in the troop, аdoрted the infant and cared for it.

Eva had no prior experience as a mother, but when she met little Djibril, her maternal inclinations emerged, and the two of them overcame every obstacle. A year after arriving at the park, the chimpanzee now has a family, according to Bored Panda.

Djibril is indispensable to the survival of an eпdапɡeгed ѕᴜЬѕрeсіeѕ. He is a so-called western chimpanzee, a ѕрeсіeѕ that the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) lists as eпdапɡeгed in its natural habitat.
