Shelley has previously given birth to 3 black-handed spider monkeys: Tika, Prem, and Olive. "Shelly is a professional looking after her offspring," Zoo Animal Programs Director Lauren Henson said in a statement. The black spider monkey, native to Central and South America, is considered critically endangered due to habitat loss and the illegal pet trade..
