Stop your scroll - you need to see this. Welcome to the world, baby squirrel monkey. This adorable infant is already a big kid and rides "jockey style" on mama's back instead of clinging to her chest like other primate species do. It's too soon to tell if baby is male or female yet, but Wildlife Care Specialists will have a better idea as it continues to develop more distinguishing features. Our squirrel monkeys are currently off-habitat, but will live in our new Wildlife Explorers Basecamp habi

Mango, the youngest of our squirrel monkey troop, was spotted foraging in the tall grass of his habitat. Our Animal Care Team never misses a moment to squeeze in a mentally stimulating enrichment experience that allows each individual to practice their natural behaviors. Thanks Keeper Laine for sharing this video! | Reid Park Zoo
