According to WOIO-TV and WKYC-TV, the attraction announced Wednesday that François’ langurs Glora and Vinh welcomed their second offspring on July 16.

“François’ langur babies are born an orange color and will start to darken to the adults’ black haircoats within a few months,” the zoo captioned a series of photos posted on its official Facebook page. “Guests can visit the new baby on the second floor of The RainForest during regular zoo hours.”

The zoo did not specify the sex of the unnamed baby.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources considers François’ langurs – also known as leaf monkeys – endangered. The organization estimates that fewer than 2,100 mature individuals remain in the wild, according to its website.
