The three-month-old Black Howler Monkey takes some sloppy sips in his home at Scotland's Edinburgh Zoo. This greedy guy looks rather hungry and friendly, happy to cling to both people . . . and his stuffed mommy substitute. Since Molly died days after giving birth, he receives 'round the clock human care – seven meals spread out over each 24-hour period! – to help him grow up healthy and strong.<span class="inline left"></span>Howler monkeys are happiest in troops of four to eight members so this babe will be gradually reintroduced to the zoo's group in the coming weeks, with full reintroduction expected to be achieved by the end of the year. <div class='gallery_thumbs limit' ><div class=title></div><ul></ul></div>See more cuteness when you read more.<div class='gallery_thumbs ' ><div class=title><!-- gallery teaser --><a class=photo-count href='http://www.petsugar.com/1822669'>View 9 Photos ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --></div><ul></ul></div></p> <p><a href="http://www.gettyimages.com" target="_blank">Source</a></p> http://www.petsugar.com/1822610#comment zoos baby animals cute monkeys black howler monkeys Edinburgh Zoo Tue, 29 Jul 2008 11:15:46 -0700 PetSugar http://www.petsugar.com/1822610 http://www.petsugar.com/1919330 <a href="http://www.petsugar.com/1919330"><img width=160 height=116 src='http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl1/10/104166/36_2008/florencezebra.large.jpg'></div></a><p>Look at those ears all big and absolutely adoro!

The newest pygmy hippo was welcomed to the world last month at the Edinburgh Zoo, and boy he sure is cute! Pygmy hippos are an endangered species, so if I were a matchmaker, I'd have to pair this little guy up <a href="http://www.petsugar.com/2472131" >with the media darling, Monifa</a>! It's a match made in zoo heaven. But besides being an endangered species, <a href="http://www.petsugar.com/1603478" >do you know any other facts about hippos</a>?
