Get ready to say hello to a new bundle of joy at the Oakland Zoo! But here's where it gets controversial... While Punch the monkey may have stolen the internet's heart with his adorable antics, a new arrival is about to take the spotlight. A male red-tailed monkey has made his debut, and he's just as cute (if not cuter) than his famous cousin. The little guy was born earlier this month to proud parents Nonami and Marley, and he's already got two big sisters from his previous home. But here's the twist: his sisters have quirky names, Ikea and Skittles, which has got us all wondering if the new baby will get a more conventional name. Zookeepers are currently on the hunt for the perfect name, and once they've made a decision, they'll reveal it on social media. So, get ready to be charmed by this new primate, and don't forget to share your thoughts on the name in the comments! And this is the part most people miss... The birth of this new baby is a result of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' collaboration with Oakland Zoo on its Guenon red-tailed monkey Species Survival Plan. So, while Punch may have our hearts, this new arrival is a big step towards the conservation of these adorable primates.
