A MONKEY in a forest is being dad to a ginger kitten.

The young long-tailed macaque monkey is very protective of the kitten. It cares for and grooms the baby cat, while keeping other monkeys away.

The amazing photos were taken by Anne Young while she was on holiday at the Monkey Forest Park in Bali, Indonesia.

And, like any celebrity parent, the monkey dad didn’t like it when Anne got too close, even trying to cover the kitten with a big leaf.

That's really sweet but i can't help feeling a bit sorry for the kitten because it doesn't seem to be allowed to move where IT wants to! The monkey's just grabbing its tail and tum constantly! :)
