An infant Goeldi monkey born on May 27 to Diego and Leah has been named Calli after zoo officials held an online vote.
“We wanted to extend a huge thank you to everyone that participated in selecting the name Calli for the newest member of the Goeldi troop,” said zoo manager Tim Sinclair-Smith.
Calli is short for Callimico, the species name.
