Pale-faced saki monkeys back at Oregon Zoo

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — After more than a year of “family leave,” the pale-faced saki monkeys are back on exhibit at the Oregon Zoo.

Monkeys Jackie and Bam-Bam were removed from public view in April 2009 after Jackie gave birth to a male, named Marcelo. They spent a year bonding, and this past June another baby was born. This one hasn’t been named yet.

The Oregonian reports that the sakis are now back in their Amazon Flooded Floor exhibit.

Primate Keeper Renee Cressa says the newest addition is pretty tiny, especially since he’ll grow to only about 312 pounds, and still rides around on his mother’s back.
