[CBC뉴스] 터키 남동부 가지안테프 지방에서는 침팬지와 곰 새끼 사이의 매우 드물고 따뜻한 우정이 사람들의 관심을 끌고 있다. 가지안테프 동물원의 아기곰 '봉크'는 침팬지 '캔'과 하루에 4시간 정도를 보낸다. 이들의 종을 뛰어넘은 우정에 많은 이들의 이목이 집중되고 있다.
A very rare and heartwarming friendship between a chimpanzee and bear cub draws people's attention in Turkey's southeastern Gaziantep province. Gaziantep Zoo's new resident 28-day bear cub named "Boncuk" spends about four hours a day with the five-year-old chimpanzee named "Can".
"They get on well with each other," head of the Department of Wildlife Protection and Agricultural Services of Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality, Celal Ozsoyler, said.
Talking about their friendship, he said "[Can] tries to protect her. We leave them outside on sunny days. He stands in front of [Boncuk] to prevent her from falling. He also tries to take her on his lap."
He added that Boncuk's mom didn't look after her that's why zookeepers took care of her. "We took care of her like her mom," Ozsoyler said.
