Wildlife park staff celebrate monkey’s birth
Yorkshire Wildlife Park
A monkey which is a member of a species whose numbers in the wild are falling has been born at a wildlife park in Yorkshire.
The youngster, who has yet to be named, was the third gelada monkey ever to be born at Yorkshire Wildlife Park, near Doncaster, staff have said.
Amy Wright, primate leader at the park, said the members of the team were “delighted” when they found out mum Bachuma was pregnant.
Since Bachuma gave birth last month, “she has kept her baby tight to her chest”, Ms Wright said.
