The Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio welcomed a snow white guereza colobus monkey as their first baby of 2017. It was born last week to 4-year-old mother Adanna and 21-year-old Tiberius has not yet been named, nor has its gender been determined. Despite its parents donning a vibrant black and white coat, the zoo explained in a press release that guereza colobus monkeys are born stark white with pink faces and blue eyes that is meant to help them be more visible to the mother in a dense rainforest canopy.
