CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - It’s a boy! The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo happily announced the birth of a white-faced saki monkey baby this week.

The zoo has not yet named its newest and youngest resident.

This is the third successful birth for his mom, Lopez, and his dad, Luis, according to the zoo.

“Baby saki monkeys love to hang onto mom in their early stages,” the zoo said, “so be sure to look closely on your next visit to the Primate, Cat & Aquatics Building!”
