Staff at Yorkshire Wildlife Park are celebrating after a baby gelada monkey named Kobo was born this week - only the second of its breed to be born at the park.
The first gelada monkey to be born at Yorkshire Wildlife Park was Kobo’s older brother Azezo, born in 2022. The new baby monkey, child of Obi and Feven, was named after a vote on social media. Kobo was born on April 23, a spokesperson for the park said. Kobo is a town near the Simien Mountains in Ethiopia, where gelada monkeys are native.
They eat around a quarter of their body weight in grass every single day, making them a truly fascinating species! “We have been watching Feven closely for the last six months throughout her pregnancy. Throughout their pregnancy, female geladas get several chin rolls on the neck which get bigger in size. This is also a way of letting the males Geladas know they are pregnant.
