Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseA zoo in Colombia is celebrating the birth of a baby spider monkey, a rare species in danger of extinction. The San Fe zoo now has 20 spider monkeys, although Diaz expects that number to rise as one male and several females amongst them are fertile. Spider monkeys, whose natural habitat is tropical rainforests, are among the 25 most endangered primates in the world. It’s been a time of many celebrations in the San Fe zoo over the last few days, with the births of a squirrel monkey, three grey crowned cranes and two pygmy marmosets.
