This adorable new addition to Marwell Zoo has officially been given a name.

The youngster is the first Sulawesi-crested macaque to be born at the zoo for 10 years.

To celebrate zookeepers decided to launch a competition asking people in Hampshire to name her and the results are in.

The eight-week-old has been called Indah, with the name winning 35 per cent of the public vote.

Born to mum, Drusilla and dad, Douglas, Indah is the latest addition to her troop and will be a valuable asset to the European Endangered Species Breeding Programme (EEP) which conserves the species and avoids extinction.

Claire Mound, team leader of primates and small mammals, said: “Thank you to all who have voted to help us name our exciting new arrival. The winning name was selected by one of our keepers and means beautiful in Indonesian. She is settling in really well to the group and is at the stage in her development where she is confident to explore.”

Claire added: “Under the watchful eye of mum Drusilla, she can be seen regularly running around and attempting to climb. Her sweet and playful nature has won the hearts of the entire team and visitors alike.”

Sulawesi-crested macaques are the most endangered of the seven macaque species found on the island of Sulawesi.

In the wild they live in tropical rainforests and mangrove swamp areas on the Northern Peninsula of the Indonesian island.

These animals face many threats in the wild and one of them is over hunting for food, as they are considered a delicacy in areas of Sulawesi.

The primate team at Marwell Zoo will be posting updates about Indah on Facebook and Twitter.
