Funky Gibbons welcome new baby

Protective parents have kept Malang indoors until now

A group of Javan langur monkeys have revealed their new baby for the first time. Until now, they've kept the apricot-coloured infant behind closed doors in their enclosure at Howletts Wild Animal Park, protecting her from the bad weather since her birth last month. Named Malang, she has a bright coat which will gradually darken to either black or brown in the next six months.

Javan Langurs are listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red list of endangered species as they face losing their habitats and hunting, and they're not often seen in wild animal parks.
