COAL VALLEY, Ill. — With pandemic restrictions rolled back and new additions settled in nicely, the Niabi Zoo is ready for guests! 
The zoo opened their new exhibit, Spineless Wonders, in July. 
According to zoo director Lee Jackson, Spineless Wonders explores the life of invertebrates. The exhibit houses animals like black widow spiders, giant robber crabs, sea anemones, and tarantulas. 
The zoo has also welcomed three new animals within the last three months. Most recently, a 7-year-old black and white Colobus Monkey named Kenna. 
"Kenna came to us as part of a captive management plan that oversees the population management of all Colobus monkeys in North America," said Jackson. "Our goal is that she eventually becomes a mom and helps assure the continued strength of the population.”
