World's smallest monkeys have a baby at Nelson zoo

Brittney Reporter from Stuff

Hi Neighbours,

Have you heard the news? A baby pygmy marmoset monkey that weighs less than an AA battery is the newest arrival at Nelson's Natureland.

Peru and Inti are the proud parents of the baby who arrived on January 9. Hawken said Inti was a first-time mum and the first 48-hours for a newborn were often touch and go.

Will you be going to congratulate the new parents? The tiny baby monkey, whose weight is estimated between 16 to 20 grams, could be difficult to spot while clinging to one of its parents.
