The first we know of the birth is the following morning when our guides\nspot a very tired mum holding her new arrival. It\u2019s a magical moment and\nsomething we all look forward to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/monkey-forest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/twitter-Copy-1400x933.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2009\" width=\"455\" height=\"303\"\/><figcaption>Baby monkey and mother <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>From birth the babies cling to their mother\u2019s tummy for\nfood, comfort and warmth. The babies are born with black fur, a bright red face\nand extremely large ears. They weigh only 600g, similar to a bag of sugar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s usually not long before the new arrivals are on the\nmove. Taking their first (very wobbly) steps at around 10 days old, trying\nsolid foods after about 6 weeks and exploring the forest and its many trees \u2013\nwhich make the perfect climbing frames! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new arrivals are very popular with other members of the group. Our younger monkeys are usually very curious and want to play with the newbies, whilst the males help to care for and protect the babies \u2013 a trait that is unique to the species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/monkey-forest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1MMC_6095.jpg\" alt=\"Monkey Forest valentines\" class=\"wp-image-2085\" width=\"459\" height=\"324\"\/><figcaption>Baby and young monkey<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With baby season fast approaching make sure you\u2019re following us across <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/trenthammonkeyforest\">social<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/monkey-forest.com\/subscribe\/\">sign up to our newsletter<\/a> to be the first to know of any births and to see updates on the new arrivals \u2013 yes, that means tons of baby monkey videos and pictures. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s nearly that time of year again when we welcome the new additions to Trentham Monkey Forest.
