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.

Sinclair-Smith said the zoo asked for the public to help choose the name so citizens can have a special connection with her as she grows.
Diego, Leah and Calli can be viewed daily between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. local time at the monkey enclosure in the Kinsmen children’s zoo exhibit.
