2/4: Woman breastfeeding monkey
 
http://cellar.org/2002/breastfeedingmonkey.jpg

From Ananova:

Namita Das says she was spurred to suckle it by a combination of maternal and religious feelings.

She recently gave birth after many years of trying for a baby and felt the need to save the animal because she is a devotee of the Hindu monkey god Hanuman.

The monkey was found almost dead by her woodcutter husband in a forest clearing outside Chandrapur village in Tripura state.

The Pragati newspaper reports hundreds of people have turned up to see Das feed the monkey.

Local school teacher Ballabh Saha said: "We can't help feeling touched by her concern for the monkey. It's like she believes it is her own child."

Looks cool but it makes me wonder about the possibility of this intimate contact passing viruses between species.

That is just WRONG.

And yeah, who knows what that monkey could catch!
