Vienna House of the Sea with Baby Monkeys

"The social monkeys learn many behaviors through observing and imitating the older group members. The big sister Elive is already closely watching the experienced mother Gaby and learning the proper way to handle the offspring. This allows her to gain initial experience, hopefully enabling her to successfully raise her own young in the future. This is of particular importance because the white-faced sakis at the House of the Sea are part of the European conservation breeding program and contribute to the maintenance of a genetically healthy population with each breeding success," said Zoo Director Jeff Schreiner in a statement.
