said the baby is settling in with the rest of the troop, including older brother Gus.
“The yet-to-be-named male is staying close to his mother as he meets other troop members and gets acclimated to his surroundings in the Zoo’s World of Primates habitat,” the post said. “The pair continues to bond but are also fully integrated into the troop, mimicking family dynamics in the wild.”
