Family Time: Young Siamang Hangs Out With Mom & Dad At Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) - The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo shared video of one of their animal families spending quality time together. Rahsia, a young Siamang, spent time exploring with her doting dad, Wayan.
Siamangs are the largest of the 14 types of Gibbons, which are a species of small apes. The Siamang is native to the forests of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.
Keepers say Rahsia has been climbing off of her mom, Eve, to accept food, which is one of the first steps toward individual training.
"We hope that you've been enjoying watching Rahsia grow as much as we have!" the zoo said in a tweet on Friday.
