Family of rare Roloway monkeys arrives at UK's Chester Zoo

Chester Zoo announced on Thursday the arrival of a family of rare Roloway monkeys, one of the world’s most endangered species of primates. Staff at the facility described the arrival of the monkeys as "incredibly special." The family of four includes mum Masaya and dad Grizu, along with two young sons Anum and Ilo. The monkeys have a unique look: a dark body, white chest and distinctive white ruffs around their faces. According to Chester Zoo, Roloway monkeys are on the brink of extinction due to habitat loss in West Africa. #chesterzoo
