By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: The BBC reports that a 1-month-old baby was being breastfed when he was taken away from his mother by a monkey that went into their house.

The family lives in Mwamgongo village in Kigoma, near the Gombe Nation Park in western Tanzania.

The home was invaded by a troop of monkeys and one of the monkeys attacked the mother.

The child died after villagers attempted to rescue him but the monkey responded aggressively.

The baby sustained injuries to the head and neck and then passed away while receiving treatment.

The police have now urged citizens to be vigilant of monkeys crossing from the national park.
