See this weird looking baby monkey that was delivered by c- section ( photos )

A tiny primate baby was this week delivered by Caesarean section
surgery at Paignton Zoo in Devon and the strange looking monkey has
been likened to Harry Potter ' s arch enemy Voldemort .
According to Vet surgeon , Jo Reynard , it was the first time they had
conducted a C - section on a primate as her mother Ivy had developed
complications before childbirth .
Vet Jo Reynard , said to Mirror UK :
" Ivy had reached her due date but been off her food and inactive for
two days. A quick x-ray confirmed that the baby ' s head was engaged
in the pelvis ready to come out . Later that evening we became
concerned as her health was deteriorating and with no signs of normal
labour progressing , we decided to do a C - section to save Ivy 's
life and that of the baby . "
Ghislaine Sayers , head of veterinary services at Paignton Zoo , said:
" We have only done three C -sections here in the last 16 years . Jo ,
our surgeon on this occasion , has performed them on dogs , cats ,
cows and sheep before – but never a primate . It 's not so common in
zoos – most zoo animals manage to give birth by themselves.
Introducing a new life into the world is always special. The hardest
bit in these circumstances is knowing when to intervene and when to
leave the mum alone to give birth naturally . Jo added
" It is an exciting thing to be involved in , but the overriding
feeling is concern for the mother and this can make you a bit
apprehensive . You want to do the best job you can for her . "
