WELCOMES BABY COLOBUS MONKEY
T
he tiny primate, named Alan, was recently born to parents Kasaka and fi rst-time mother Bez and is only the second of this particular species to be born at the park.
Last year, Kasaka fathered his fi rst baby, Christopher, who is keeping a watchful eye on the youngster as he fi nds his feet.
Born completely white, these primates do not take on the more familiar colouration of the adults until they are around three-months-old.
Jamie Craig, curator of Cotswold Wildlife Park, said: “The group now has two playful infants to keep an eye on as they make the most of the warm spring weather. All adults take a role in babysitting and luckily, Kasaka is a very patient dad!”
Like all primates, they are highly social animals. They live in family groups composed of a dominant male, several females, and their young.
The female Colobus Monkey usually announces that she is ready to mate by tongue smacking. Females give birth to a single offspring approximately every 20 months.
In the wild, males leave their birth groups before they are fully mature, either by choice or by force, and live alone or in small bachelor groups. Some will eventually take over a harem of their own. Each group has its own territory in the tree canopy that is well defi ned and defended.
