DULUTH, MN (KDAL) – There is a new addition to the troop of Angolan Colobus monkeys at the Lake Superior Zoo in Duluth.
The baby monkey was discovered by a zookeeper on July 11th clinging to its mother, Kero.
The baby’s name and gender will be revealed on Thursday morning during a live facebook event from the zoo at 10:15.
The Angolan Colobus is listed as a vulnerable species and there are only 88 of them at accredited zoos in the world and four are now located at the Lake Superior Zoo.
Wild populations in the Congo basin of Africa are threatened by habitat reduction, hunting and trapping.
The baby monkey along with mom, dad and big sister can be seen daily at the zoo from 10 a-m to 5 p-m
