Two chimp cubs were born to the Beijing Zoo on July 10 and 20, but one mother chimp refused to feed her baby and another has no milk. The zoo had to ask Beijing mothers to donate milk to feed the two cubs. Two Beijing women have donated more than 2,000 milliliters of milk. The cubs, now weighing over three kilos each, are in good health. Zookeepers now take good care of the two cubs.
