New baby!

Last night, Salonga gave birth to her baby! She did it all by herself in the enclosure, we didn’t have to isolate her or anything! Everything went well, she cut the umbilical cord and went out with the rest of the group into the forest, and around 9am she came back and ate 8 bananas and 2 oranges!
We just know she’s going to be a super mom, she has always been very motherly. In fact she was always gathering frogs from the pond to pamper and smother with love - sometimes unfortunately to death!
The baby isn’t big, but has a full head of hair, and clings to his mom tenaciously. We are so happy, it’s wonderful news after the death of Malou.
Kisses from Lola,
Claudine.
