We have some exciting news to tail you! Tika the black-handed spider monkey has given birth, and both Mom and baby are doing great.

Our Zoo is home to the first white-nosed coati births in about 7 years in a North American facility accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

Sammy our 18-year-old Linne’s two-toed sloth gave birth to a healthy baby on March 14. Sammy, having delivered three babies before, is an expert caretaker, and both Mom and baby are doing great.

Our white-nosed coati habitats in Rainforest Revealed may be a little quieter over the next few weeks – but not for too long. Two of our female coatis, Sky and Rita, are pregnant!

You may spot two little black-handed spider monkey infants exploring our sky tunnels and habitats in our Rainforest Revealed loop! In January, we shared that our Zoo would be home for two spider monkey infants. Our animal care team has started the careful process of introducing 8-month-old Finn and 5-month-old Marceline to the rest of our spider monkey troop.  

It’s been a baby bonanza at our Zoo over the last few months! Read on to learn more about each of the new babies we’ve welcomed.
