At a rundown park near the front lines in the Syrian city of Aleppo, a fragile truce has brought out visitors to see the last animal left at a makeshift zoo - "Happy" the monkey.
The 22-year-old hamadryad baboon has been a much-loved attraction at Sabil park in the western portion of the city for years.
But the conflict since March 2011 that has split Aleppo between government control in the west and its rebel-held east has taken its toll on Saeed, whose name is Arabic for "happy".
