Moment Twycross zookeeper reunites with chimp through video call

Twycross Zoo has captured the adorable moment a chimpanzee was reunited with her zookeeper on video call.

Jaenette the chimpanzee was pleasantly surprised to see her zookeeper Lainy Miller on the video app FaceTime, after months of not seeing each other.

Lainy has been working with the chimpanzees at Twycross Zoo for four years and went on maternity leave at the end of January.

Jaenette and another chimpanzee Julie also had the chance of meeting Lainy's newborn-son, Sebastian, later on in the video call.

The zookeeper will be away for a year while she takes care of Sebastian.
