A Day in the Life of Baby Monkey Koko: Bottles, Baths, and a Runny Nose

A young monkey named Koko gets fed, bathed, and fussed over after drinking so much milk that it leaves her with a runny nose. The footage follows her through an ordinary day of care, from bottle to bathtub to a quiet moment on a towel outside.

What happens in the video

Koko starts out wrapped in a red towel, held steady in someone’s hands while she grips a small baby bottle with both hands. She’s tiny enough to sit in one person’s palm, with the kind of soft, wide-eyed look you’d expect from an infant animal still finding its balance.

Later, she’s set up at a dining table on her own little red towel, drinking from her bottle while a young girl eats a meal just behind her. Koko wears a soft yellow wrap, and the whole scene has the feel of a family mealtime, just with one extra, much smaller guest at the table.

Why does the video mention a runny nose?

According to the filmmaker, Koko’s nose runs after she drinks a large amount of milk — the title points to this as the reason for some of the extra care shown later in the video. In one scene she’s held in a wash basin under a running tap, being gently rinsed, and in another she rests on a striped towel outdoors near a plant while someone dabs at her with a tissue.

A gentle, everyday routine

There’s no drama here, just the small, repeated tasks of looking after a baby animal: feeding, cleaning, wiping, and holding. The towels, the bottle, and the patient hands throughout give the video its calm, homey feel from start to finish.
