A Bolivian gray titi monkey that was born at the Bronx Zoo last month is ready for its close up, and it is SO ADORABLE I can't even come up with anything clever to say about it.
LOOK AT THE BABY MONKEY.
LOOK AT IT.
BE MY FRIIIIIEEEEEEEND (Julie Larsen Maher © WCS)
LOOK AT HOW CUTE IT IS.
DON'T YOU WANT TO HUG IT.
DON'T HUG IT THOUGH, IT IS TOO SMALL.
IT WILL BREAK.
DO NOT BREAK THE ADORABLE MONKEY.
[INSERT CRASS QUIP ABOUT WORD "TITI" HERE]
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
The baby monkey and its monkey parents are in a mixed-species exhibit in the Bronx Zoo’s World of Birds, though it is important to note that monkeys are not birds. They are monkeys. The monkeys get to play in a habitat themed after a South American rainforest, and it is filled with friends like golden lion tamarins and gray-winged trumpeters.
Titi monkeys eat fruits, leaves, and insects. They are so cute I am physically in pain.
