Adorable baby monkey born at Philadelphia Zoo
When it comes to cute baby animals, it’s hard to beat a good monkey and the Philadelphia Zoo has introduced one to the world. It’s a species called Francois langur and is an endangered type of monkey from Southeast Asia.
The new addition was named Quy Bau, which means “precious” in Vietnamese and was the offspring of Mei and Chester. According to Penn Live, zookeepers noticed that Mei, the first time mother, didn’t want anything to do with her new baby, but that apparently isn’t unusual for this species. Quy Bau was bathed and fed by the zoo staff. Since then, Mei and Quy Bau have bonded and, along with Chester, are living as a happy family at the zoo.
Footage shows zoo keepers at Philadelphia Zoo clean and feed the François langur monkey named Qúy Báu after she was ignored by her mother Mei Mei earlier this month.
