切斯特动物园的一只子玛萨亚 (Masaya) 在经过一项突破性的手术, 救了她的脚免于截肢. A critically endangered roloway monkey named Masaya at Chester Zoo has given birth to her daughter Lagertha, following a groundbreaking surgery that saved her foot from amputation. 这只15岁的子于2023年抵达动物园, 经过了切斯特动物园和利物浦大学的兽医进行复杂手术以移除大小相当于高尔夫球的大腹, 可能是因为一根老棘伤害造成的. The 15-year-old monkey, who arrived at the zoo in 2023, underwent a complex procedure by vets from Chester Zoo and the University of Liverpool to remove a golf ball-sized abscess likely caused by an old thorn injury. 这项手术在罗洛威猴中前所未有，保留了除一只脚趾外的所有趾头，使雅雅得以完全康复并照顾新生儿。 The surgery, unprecedented for roloway monkeys, preserved all but one toe, allowing Masaya to recover fully and care for her newborn. 这只以维京女王命名的婴儿现已超过四周大，表现出好奇。 The infant, named after a Viking queen, is now over four weeks old and showing curiosity. 由于息地丧失和偷猎, 在野生环境中只剩下不到2000头的子, 也只有少数雌性在欧洲繁殖, 这一诞生是保护领域的一个重要里程碑. With fewer than 2,000 roloway monkeys left in the wild due to habitat loss and poaching, and only a few breeding females in Europe, the birth is a significant conservation milestone.
