Sacramento Zoo Welcomes Newborn Wolf's Guenon Monkey

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - The Sacramento Zoo welcomed a new addition over the weekend - a newborn monkey.

Zoo staff says a Wolf's Guenon monkey gave birth on Sunday. Zookeepers are now keeping a careful eye on the newborn.

It's the second Wolf's Guenon monkey to be born at the Sacramento Zoo in recent years. The zoo's Wolf's Guenon pair welcomed a newborn back in 2013. That newborn was named Zuri.

The new infant has not been named yet.

Zookeepers are hopeful that Zuri will gain valuable experience in observing her parents care for the newborn - experience they hope she'll be able to replicate one day.

Wolf's Guenon monkeys are native to Central West Africa.
