Denver Zoo
A
baby howler monkey born in the spring at the
Denver Zoo has been returned to the Tropical Discovery exhibit to be with her parents. The whole family will be on display Thanksgiving Day.
The female howler monkey named Violet was born April 29. She was hand raised in the nursery because of an injury she sustained after losing her grip on her mother's back. The young monkey recovered and zoo keepers said she is doing well.
Denver Zoo veterinarians took Violet on a daily trip to visit her parents in Tropical Discovery while she was in the nursery and once she was old enough, introductions began. The whole family is getting along great and keepers have even observed Violet "howling" along with her parents. Howler monkeys are known for their remarkably loud and persistent calls described as howls or growls.
Zoo keepers will also start rotating
lion cubs Razi and Zuri into the big yard of Predator Ridge for Thanksgiving. The cubs, born Aug. 2, have previously been on exhibit only in the Maternity Den.
The Denver Zoo will maintain its regular hours of operation from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day.
