Monkeys choose babysitters based on who has more parenting experience. Young female black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys often want to hold other females’ infants, but mothers are much more permissive of experienced caregivers. A 97- year-old has become the oldest first-time mother with four babies, and potentially more on the way!The mother in question is an endangered Galápagos tortoise and her four hatchlings have become beacons of hope for the species. All to discuss with Dr Ruth Freeman Director of Research for Society on this week's 'Green Scene'.All with thanks to Repak For Research Ireland
