The London Zoo has welcomed its newest arrival. The baby was born only three weeks ago. We don't know if it’s a boy or a girl because the baby monkey is always on its mother. The little thing currently measures only three inches (7.6 centimetres). It was born after a six-month gestation period. The mother and the baby are in the zoo’s ‘Meet the Monkeys’ exhibit. That means that you can actually walk among the monkeys – there are no barriers. The monkeys live in large groups. The zoo has a group of 20. They all enjoy taking care of the baby.
