Attention Michael Jackson. Actually, never mind.
We almost wanted to tell the monkey-lovin' Jacko about Namita Das, a woman living in India who not only adopted a pet monkey but also decided to raise it just like a human baby. That includes breastfeeding.
“Yes, I breastfeed him,” Namita told the BBC. “He is my son.”
According to the report, the woman and her husband found the monkey nearly dead beneath a tree following a bad storm. It had lost its parents, so Namita decided to take on the role of Mom.
Her daughters, Dipti and Tripiti, don’t seem to mind. There's apparently plenty of Namita milk for everybody and BBC said the girls treat little Buru as a sibling. “I did not have a son. God finally gave one,” Namita was quoted as saying.
