DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) - Scovill Zoo in Decatur has finally given a name to an adorable resident - a baby spider monkey!
Hank has been at the zoo for a while, but the name was only just given to him. His keeper was the one to choose the name.
"We finally figured out the sex of it. It actually was born a year ago, and so it's like 13 months old now, but it takes a long time for spider monkeys to figure out what sex they are without being real aggressive with them," said Scovill Zoo Director Ken Frye.
The public can see Hank, along with all of the zoo's other animals, when the zoo reopens in the spring of 2022.
