LAKE SUPERIOR ZOO WELCOMES NEW MONKEYS

BY HALEY HEDSTROM

The Lake Superior Zoo is proud to announce the welcoming of four new primates to our zoo family, a black-crested mangabey troop!

The monkeys arrived in late March from the Brookfield Zoo in Brookfield, Ill., and have been settling into their new home famously. The troop consists of an adult male Videll and adult female Kiwi, parents to baby Zingo, as well as another adult female named Lili. Baby Zingo was born on July 4 last year.

The troop of primates can be found in the zoo’s main building,

Zoo Central, along with many other species, including a snapping turtle, quartet of parrots, Gila monsters and more.

Duluth’s Lake Superior Zoo is the only zoo in northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin.

Since 1923, it has provided up-close animal experiences that inspire connections to wildlife and action towards conservation. The zoo’s picturesque property includes rocky hillsides, majestic pines and beautiful Kingsbury Creek. It is one of the region’s most popular yearround attractions.
