What is a baby monkey called?

A baby monkey is called an "infant." Monkeys and apes are genetically close to humans, so sharing the same names for their young seems appropriate. All animals are given baby names at the time of birth.

Adult monkeys have great paternal instincts when caring for the young. Close attention is given to basic cleansing and grooming needs. The adult monkey watches over the infant during rest and personal development time. During nursing hours, the adult monkey is sensitive and attentive. The adult mother maintains a close bond with the infant and never lets the infant out of sight for too long.
