On February 10, a staff member at Kujukushima Zoo &amp; Botanical Garden in Nagasaki Prefecture found the 10-year-old monkey, Momo, and her baby. The father could either be monkeys in the neighboring cages, Momo\u2019s father and three siamangs, or a black-handed gibbon who takes turns to use Momo\u2019s cage during daytime. Her pregnancy\u2019s mystery may be solved through genetic testing after the baby\u2019s weaning in about a year. <\/span><b>Source<\/b><b>: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ktn.co.jp\/news\/20210312007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KTN<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mainichi.jp\/articles\/20210309\/k00\/00m\/040\/289000c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mainichi<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-139814\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/kujuukushima-zoo.jpg?resize=1024%2C571&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/kujuukushima-zoo.jpg?resize=1024%2C571&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/kujuukushima-zoo.jpg?resize=300%2C167&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/kujuukushima-zoo.jpg?resize=768%2C428&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/kujuukushima-zoo.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>Photo by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/morikirara.jp\/news\/?news_p=11800\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">official website<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Disclaimer<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Fukuoka Now posts summaries of Kyushu area news for those who cannot read Japanese.
