Professor's family's unexpected fame 因电视直播采访而意外成名的教授家庭

文字稿 A heart-warming story of recovery. A baby chimpanzee - Nemley junior - with a great appetite; an astonishing turnaround given the trauma he’s been through. Poachers killed his mother and the rest of his family and then sold him to wildlife traffickers. A raid led to two arrests – a young dealer called Ibrahima Traore and his uncle Mohammed – they’re now awaiting trial – the first prosecution for wildlife trafficking that Ivory Coast has ever seen.

这是一个有关黑猩猩重获新生的感人故事。黑猩猩幼崽小奈姆利（Nemley junior）的胃口恢复得很好，考虑到小奈姆利所经历的精神创伤，它的整体状态有了惊人的好转。偷猎者们捕杀了它的母亲及家人，然后把它卖给了野生动物贩。警方在一次突击搜查中逮捕了两名嫌疑人，年轻的商贩特劳雷（Ibrahima Traore），还有他的叔父穆罕默德（Mohammed）。两名疑犯正在等候审判，这是素有“象牙海岸”之称的科特迪瓦共和国所见证的首场针对野生动物非法交易的诉讼。
