The video shows the primate taking its first steps away from its parents, Duni and Kisuma, in its enclosure at Prague Zoo.

The video also shows mum Duni, playing her eight-year-old male son, Ajabu.

Onlooker Lucie Štěpničková, 37, a saleswoman from Prague, Czech Republic, said: "Mobi is really getting more and more freedom from her mum and dad.

"She went to touch her dad's sleeves and her gently caressed her head and hugged her.

"Kisumu was watching over his daughter Mobi whilst Duni played with Ajabu.

"She always came to check on her between games to see if Mobi was OK and then left again."
