UPI – An Ohio zoo in the United States announced a baby mandrill monkey was born recently to a first-time mother at the facility.
The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium said first-time mother Hasina gave birth to a yet-unnamed girl this month in the Our Congo Expedition area of the zoo.
The baby’s father, Mosi, previously had a son, Bernard, at the zoo.
“Hasina is a very attentive and picture-perfect first-time mom. Hasina has allowed her sister, Malaika, to groom the baby, and Bernard also sneaks a peak at his new little sister whenever he can,” the zoo said in the birth announcement.
The zoo said the mandrills have access to their public-facing habitat, so glimpses of the baby by the public are possible.
