Move over Donkey Kong – here comes Kodak the monkey!
A capuchin monkey rescued from captivity could emulate legendary Nintendo star Donkey Kong when he becomes immortalised in his own videogame, to be released on Facebook later this month.
Kodak’s Jungle Rumble has been designed to help raise awareness of the plight of primates such as the titular star, who was captured in the wild from French Guyana in 2003.
Kodak was sold to the pet trade in Greece but was later handed over to a rescue organisation and is now one of the happy residents – and star attractions – at the Monkey Sanctuary in Looe, Cornwall.
