That face!
This is Coco, a female goeldi’s monkey, and the latest arrival to the recently refurbished South American House at Dublin Zoo.
The goeldi moved into her new home yesterday, and judging by these snaps, seems to be settling in quite well.
Coco moved into Dublin Zoo at the weekend...
The South American House is home to over nine species including monkeys, tortoises and parrots from the rainforests of Central and South America.
Zoo experts tell us that Goeldi’s monkeys blend into the forest so well that they were only first described in 1904. These rare, dark-haired monkeys, from western regions of South America’s tropical rainforests, mainly feed on fruit, vegetables, bird eggs and insects.
Visitors can see the adorable new arrival in her new home from today, and you’ll also find these amazing creatures in the same area of the zoo…
