Baby Kanoa has joined the family of De Brazza’s monkeys at the Denver Zoo.
The male was born Nov. 27 to mother Marinda and father Kisoro, the zoo said Thursday. Kanoa joins sister Kanani, who turned 1 year old this month. The zoo said Kanoa is now climbing around his habitat at Primate Panorama.
“Kanoa” is Hawaiian for “free one.” The zoo described the new baby as “very independent and precocious despite his mother’s early attempts to be protective.”
Marinda was born in captivity in Fort Wayne, Ind., and came to Denver from North Carolina in 2009 to be paired with Kisoro, who was rescued in 2006 from the bushmeat trade in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the zoo said. The Denver Post
