Congratulations Peace!

Category: Monkeys, Rare monkey babies born | Date: Jun 27 2009 | By: cercopan

All here at CERCOPAN would like to congratulate Peace on the birth of her healthy little baby!  Peace’s infant was born two days ago, and while this is Peace’s first child and she still has a lot to learn, each day she grows more comfortable with her motherly duties.  Born just a few weeks earlier, Mercy’s baby boy is growing quite rapidly and it won’t be long before these two young managbeys are causing trouble together!    Stay tuned for more updates and pictures on this adorable and lively group of monkeys.

A wonderful baby and photos. These Mangabeys are very beautiful creatures. What kind of temperaments do they have?

Brenton,
Thanks for your response! Yes the mangabeys are quite beautiful, and definitely one of my favorite species here to photograph. Very similar to humans, each mangabey has a different personality. Peace in particular is a very curious monkey and she likes attention. This makes keeping an eye on her baby quite easy, as she will come right up to the mesh to say hello :-) Thanks for your interest in cercopan!
