Colorado Zoo Welcomes a Baby Howler Monkey

There aren't too many things cuter than a howler monkey to begin with, but a baby howler monkey has to be on that list!

Colorado Springs' Cheyenne Mountain Zoo welcomed a new baby howler monkey into the world on Tuesday, as their three-year-old, Charlie, welcomed her first baby into the world.

“The baby appeared to be strong immediately after the birth, and Charlie’s maternal instinct was evident within the hour. Within moments of her baby’s birth, Charlie was cradling and grooming the baby, even softly patting the back of the baby’s head as she held it,” officials said in a news release.

The baby’s gender won’t be known for “months,” and it has not been given a name.

Visitors can see them in their exhibit in the Monkey Pavilion.
