ALBANY, GA. -- Chehaw Wild Animal Park’s new baby colobus monkey is definitely popular.

Like all colobus monkeys, the baby was born white.

Zoo curators don’t know yet know whether the new addition is a boy or a girl because finding out would mean separating the baby from its mother.

The monkeys are a true family unit with a father, a mother, a son, and a daughter sharing responsibilities for the care of the latest arrival.

Colobus monkeys are originally from equatorial Africa so the heat and humidity is just perfect for them.
