Since the animal's birth, the mom and newborn have been kept in a "secluded holding area," per the zoo, in an effort to allow them to "properly bond without any disturbance.""She is very protective of her infant, which makes it difficult to get a clear view of it as it is cradled on her chest covered in a thick coat of hair," the zoo said.
In the future, the two monkeys will be able to be seen in their habitat at the Flooded Forest Building at the zoo’s Amazon and Beyond Exhibit.to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.

The animals typically feed on fruits, seeds, nuts and invertebrates, the zoo added, and their main predators are large birds of prey, jaguars, ocelots and large constrictor snakes.
