The rare primate, also known as a Roxellana snub-nosed monkey, was born less than a year after one male and two females were transferred to Beauval in April 2025. Zoo director Rodolphe Delord described the birth as a powerful symbol for species conservation and for ties between France and China.
The newborn is being closely monitored in Beauval’s “Heights of China” area, near the giant panda enclosure.
