Jungle VIP swings into Fota in time for jazz

A WILDLIFE park will be swinging to a different beat this jazz weekend after the birth of its very own jungle VIP.

Fota Wildlife Park in Cork yesterday unveiled a tiny lion-tailed macaque monkey — a species on the critically endangered list — which was born at the park just over a month ago.

Its sex has not yet been determined because it is still clinging to its mother.
