Arrivals a boost for at-risk species

A WILDLIFE park was celebrating a little monkey business yesterday with the arrival of two babies who will bolster a species considered to be one of the most endangered in the world.

The little bundles of seasonal joy arrived within days of each other at Fota Wildlife Park in Co Cork.

Fota Wildlife Park spokesman Willie Duffy said they were delighted with the new additions to their group of Lion-Tailed Macaques, which are believed to be one of the world’s most successful breeding groups in captivity.
