Help name this adorable newborn baby boy! (Safari West)

Santa Rosa based nature reserve, Safari West, has a new member of the family: a baby Patas monkey!

The baby boy was born on August 5, to Izzie and Maurice. He has one sister, Jasmine.

Right now he weighs only 4 pounds! He’s expected to be 20 to 27 pounds in about 4 years, when he’s full grown.

“Currently, he is so adorable, brown all over with a small pink face – still clinging to mom, but gradually starting to explore more and more,” says Safari West representatives.

This baby needs a name! Safari West is taking suggestions for names via email. The winning name gets a free Safari West Safari Tour (which starts at $40 for kids and $83 for adults!).
