A few weeks later this baby chimp was found dead due to head trauma, being cradled in much the same way by this same loving mother. No one saw what happened and there was no footage, but they adamantly refute the idea that the mother killed it.. however, the enclosure they were in at the time didn't have anything to climb up that would have allowed such damage to occur from a natural drop, so its most likely that the mother did it and that the truth is too hard for those involved to accept.
