Noah's Ark Comes To Cherry Brook Zoo

Cherry Brook Zoo will be getting some new animals. The zoo's Director of Development Linda Collrin tells CHSJ News one of them comes from India and is known as a blue antelope.

A breeding pair of Zebra will be right across from the breeding pair of blue antelope and April, the Callimico monkey that was kidnapped and then returned to the zoo safely after a lot of publicity, will be breeding with two new males coming to live with her. These monkeys are rare and endangered.

April's brother "Charlie" is leaving for a zoo in Ontario to breed and in the primate house, a breeding pair of Black Spider monkeys will be introduced to eachother.

Collrin says this is the culmination of many months of work and planning.
