Get up close to the adorable squirrel monkeys with our NEW encounter! 🐒 www.sydneyzoo.com/experiences/squirrel-monkey-encounter 🎥 Keeper Elle | Sydney Zoo

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

MONKEYING AROUND: A baby squirrel monkey was spotted hanging on its mother's back at the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois recently. The zoo says the infant was born on March 10 and will spend between 5-10 weeks on its mom Gizmo's back until it ventures off on its own. | CBS Newspath

#AnimalFact: Apart from a diet of fruits, insects, and frogs, the squirrel monkey adapts and consumes what it can find in its surrounding environment. | Mandai Wildlife Reserve
