CLEVELAND (WJW) – The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is celebrating the birth of a new baby monkey!
The white-faced saki monkey was born this week, according to a post on the zoo’s Facebook page.
The zoo says, “This is the third successful birth for mom, Lopez and dad, Luis.”
Pictures of the new baby show the little one snuggled close to its mama.

Zoo officials say, “Baby saki monkeys love to hang onto mom in their early stages so be sure to look closely on your next visit to the Primate, Cat & Aquatics Building!”
There’s been no word yet on if the baby is male or female.
Earlier this year, the zoo celebrated the birth of another monkey – a baby swamp monkey – that was born on February 13, 2023.
