Video of a young orphaned chimpanzee named Mussa snuggling with a pilot on his flight to safety is raising awareness about the poaching of the endangered species.
A team from Lwiro Primates, along with pilot Anthony Caere, rescued 3-year-old Mussa from a village called Beni in North Kivu.
Lwiro Primates learned about Mussa through a photo that was circulating on the messaging app 'WhatsApp.' They learned Mussa was living at a man's home. In addition to the endangered chimpanzee, the man had other protected reptiles in his home. It's unclear if Mussa was a 'pet' or if the man was planning to sell the baby chimpanzee.
