Sunset Zoo staff found an early Christmas present recently.
The zoo announced Friday that on the morning of Dec. 7, zookeepers discovered Kivuli, the black-and-white colobus monkey, had given birth overnight.
Colobus gestation lasts approximately six months, and based on observed breeding behavior, staff had a general idea of when the baby might arrive. When Kivuli started showing signs of impending birth, zookeepers installed cameras and started “baby watch.” Footage revealed that Kivuli gave birth around 1:30 a.m.
