Rare ‘orange’ monkey born at Sydney zoo

An endangered monkey has been born at Sydney’s Taronga Zoo – and he’s orange.

The new male François Langur,was born on March 22 and has now been unveiled.

Like all François’ Langur babies, Manchu as he has been named was born with vibrant orange fur, an contrast to his mother Meli and the rest of the troop who are black.

The Zoo said it’s believed the striking colour makes it easy for adults to identify and look out for infants. 

Taronga Zoo is the only place Australia caring for the endangered species, and now has 11.
