She is a baby Hamadryas baboon.

A tiny, and very wrinkly, female baby baboon has been born at San Diego Zoo in California.


The small addition to the monkey habitat was caught on film by keepers snuggling up with mum Daphne, exploring, and trying to play.

Posting the video to Facebook, San Diego Zoo said, “It's a girl! Mother Daphne and the rest of the Hamadryas baboon troop welcomed a new addition."

It's a girl! Mother Daphne and the rest of the Hamadryas baboon troop welcomed a new addition. Come see her monkey around in Conrad Prebys Africa Rocks.

The adorable video of the baby monkey now has more than 10,000 views.

On Instagram, the zoo writes,

"It's a girl! Mother Daphne and the rest of the Hamadryas baboon troop welcomed a new addition. Come see her monkey around in Conrad Prebys Africa Rocks. Once revered by Ancient Egyptians as representatives of the Egyptian god of learning, #hamadryasbaboons are also referred to as Sacred Baboons. These hardy Old World monkeys display complex social behaviors, and can live in troops of several hundred individuals."

Viewers couldn't help but comment on just how adorable it all was.

The baby female, who has not yet been named, is part of the Hamadryas baboon species, which is the northernmost of all baboon species.

Native to parts of eastern and northern Africa, the Hamadryas baboon is often nicknamed sacred baboon due to its roles in ancient Egyptian religion.

If you're an admirer of the adorable, the zoo's social media channels have plenty of other videos for you to "awww" at.

Like Tony the hippo.

Or these adorable meerkats.


Or Wu the panda.



And then there's this thing. Apparently, it's called a tapir. I just know it's too darn cute.



No matter your animal fancy, The San Diego Zoo has got you covered.

Gavin Newsom Just Epically Trolled JD Vance Over Tariffs With An AI Video About Couches

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked Vice President JD Vance—and his love of couches—with an AI-generated video to troll him over the rising costs of goods due to President Donald Trump's retaliatory tariffs.

Earlier this week, Trump announced new tariffs: 10% on softwood timber and lumber, and 25% on “certain upholstered wooden products,” set to take effect October 14. The move follows Trump’s announcement last week of additional tariffs on kitchen cabinets, vanities, and other upholstered products, which will take effect October 1.

College Announcer Apologizes After Sparking Outrage With Body-Shaming Comment About Plus-Size Dance Team

In the United States, there are 107 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)—schools founded when segregation laws and racist policies kept Black men and women from higher education. The schools developed their own unique culture and customs around stepping, marching band, drum majors, and majorettes.

HBCU majorettes march with the band, dance, and have stand battles during games. The dance style and moves are unique to Black culture, but have spread beyond the HBCUs to high schools and dance schools across the country.
