On Saturday a female Wolf’s Guenon monkey at the Sacramento Zoo gave birth to her first infant. There are less than 35 Wolf's Guenons alive today, the majority of which live in captivity.
This is Mimi, a 5-year-old Wolf's Guenon monkey that lives at the Sacramento Zoo.

Because of how rare Wolf's Guenons are, very little is known about how they raise their young.
