Three young chimpanzees stolen from their sanctuary by a group of thieves are being ransomed for a six-figure sum.
The theft, which happened in the Democratic Republic of Congo, marks the first-ever recorded instance of an ape being kidnapped and held to ransom.
One of the clips showed one of the kidnapped chimps, Monga, aged five, tied in a bare-brick room while two smaller chimps, Hussein and César, were seen to be scampering away from their captives.
