Mum defends newborn diana monkey against over energetic brother - sound familiar? :-) I know gorilla Lope was a handful when his little brother was born, but this one must of drunk a whole shop full of energy drinks.
I featured this family before when first-time parents mum, De’Arly and dad Manu had Khari in April 2016. Khari was the first Diana monkey to be born at Twycross since 1987! Two years later and Khari has now got a sibling! (not named yet), another great achievement from Twycross zoo and their breeding program for this rare type of monkey. I can only feel sorry for the parents. They already had a lot to deal with having such energetic son, but with the newborn and a brother that wants constant attention from its parents it will be quite a challenge for De’Arly and Manu. Well more for Mum De’Arly, as Dad seemed to hide behind the trees most of the time. Actually the hiding bit sounds familiar as well :-)
