Monkey business pays off with twin bonus at Canberra's zoo

Monkey business pays off with twin bonus at Canberra's zoo. - AustraliaWide - ABC

Quote:
They're known as Cotton Top monkeys, because that's what they look like, and by doing what comes naturally - monkeying around - they're becoming a growing breed at Canberra's National Zoo's. The population there increased by two with twins delivered over Easter. In the wilds of their homelands in Columbia and Panama they're endangered. But in captivity, without the stress caused by their declining forest habitats, they have a good breeding record.
