Our latest little yellow-breasted capuchin has been named Chops because of its perfect pout.
Keepers had intended to wait until the baby was sexed before coming up with a name but said they plumped for Chops as its mouth was always scrunched up.

Upper Primates Section Leader Pat Stevens said: “The youngster has a proper little pout at the moment so we couldn’t resist calling it Chops.
“The baby is still clinging to mum Holly so we don’t know if it’s a boy or girl but it’s doing really well.
“It’s half-brother Doyle has come off his mum Dinya and has started to sample solid food.”
The two youngsters share a dad, Willow. Chops was born on August 3 and Doyle on June 25th.
