Dublin Zoo has a new arrival and he is super cute!
The newborn white-faced saki, which is yet to be named, was born on April 30th and will live in the South American House with his mother and father.
The unique monkey is traditionally found in the tropical forests of Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname and Venezuela.
Speaking about the new arrival, team leader Eddie O’Brien said: “We’re delighted... At the moment he is feeding from his mother and in about four weeks he will start to eat solids of mainly fruit and vegetables.
“For the next four months, his mother will carry the little guy close to her chest. In time, he will become stronger, gain more independence and start exploring the habitat on his own.”

He was born at the end of April.
