Patas Monkey Baby Iniko - First to be Hand Reared "In Troubled Times"
Baby patas monkey Iniko was born at the zoo on June 8, 2020, and unfortunately her mother, Becca, did not survive the birth. Iniko is the first baby patas monkey in North America to be hand-reared, in the care of our General Curator, Dan Meates and his wife, Zookeeper Leisje Meates, with help from our animal care team. Her name means “Born during troubled times” to reflect her birth in a pandemic and the loss of her mother.
