“It’s no trick! Just in time for Halloween, we share with you the newest and cutest li’l pumpkin-haired baby, Rhubarb!” the zoo stated. They expanded on the newborn animal and her family in the following lines.

“The 1-month-old female Francois’ langur was born on September 30 to mom Dolly and dad Deshi in Primate Canopy Trails at the Saint Louis Zoo. Rhubarb is the first Francois’ langur ever born at the Saint Louis Zoo and an important birth for this endangered species. Mom Dolly is 16 years old, and Rhubarb is her first baby. Dolly and Rhubarb have a strong bond, and Dolly is dedicated to caring for her daughter. The langur family are bonding in a private area of the habitat and may not be on view,” they stated.

“Rhubarb’s birth is part of the Francois’ Langur Species Survival Plan of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, a programme responsible for maintaining a genetically healthy population of Francois’ langurs in North American zoos.” It is a fantastic feat for both this species and the Zoo!” the zoo added before concluding the post.

“Precious! Will the baby’s fur turn dark like mom and dad’s? Or is she always going to be orange?,”  enquired a Facebook user. The zoo responded, “Hi Rachel! After about six months, she will lose her orange coat and her hair will turn black– just like mom and dad.”
