OH! How cute is she? This is Conchita the white-naped mangabey monkey
who's been born at London Zoo. She's pictured with her special teddy
bear. Her mum has been poorly after the birth, so the three-week-old
has been cuddling up to this teddy bear instead.

She's only the second white-naped mangabey to be born in the UK and
keeper Andrea Payne is hand-rearing her, giving her attention round
the clock.

This sort of monkey usually lives in West Africa, but they are
endangered because the habitat where they live is being destroyed.
