Zoo Miami Welcomes a Baby White-Faced Saki Monkey

The baby monkey's sex has not yet been confirmed

Zoo Miami has recently expanded its animal family by one!

Last month, the Florida-based attraction welcomed a baby white-faced saki monkey, the zoo announced in a news release.

Born to 13-year-old parents — mother, Alejandra, and father, Macky — the baby monkey's sex has not yet been confirmed.

Since the animal's birth, the mom and newborn have been kept in a "secluded holding area," per the zoo, in an effort to allow them to "properly bond without any disturbance."

This week, the baby was found to be in good health and was observed nursing, according to the establishment.

Recently, Alejandra and her newborn were given access to their habitat to get the baby monkey accustomed to it.

"She is very protective of her infant, which makes it difficult to get a clear view of it as it is cradled on her chest covered in a thick coat of hair," the zoo said.

In the future, the two monkeys will be able to be seen in their habitat at the Flooded Forest Building at the zoo’s Amazon and Beyond Exhibit.

White-faced saki monkeys live in trees and can be found in the tropical forests of Venezuela, Guyana, French Guiana, Brazil and Suriname, according to the zoo.

The animals typically feed on fruits, seeds, nuts and invertebrates, the zoo added, and their main predators are large birds of prey, jaguars, ocelots and large constrictor snakes.
