Baby Columbus Monkey Born

CLOVER and Brodie are as proud as any new doting parents of a baby Columbus Monkey at the Melbourne Zoo. The black and white baby colobus monkey was born on January 9 and has yet to be named. The birth is part of a regional breeding program to protect the endangered species. Colobus monkeys are native to parts of Africa and are distinguishable by their striking glossy black and white pelts and flowing tails. Their coat has made them an attractive target for poachers - a practice that has rendered them an endangered species. (Source)
