Zoo Babies: Meet baby Kesi, the cutest new addition to the Denver Zoo

Welcome to AOL Lifestyle's Zoo Babies, which profiles the newest and most adorable additions to zoos across America. From a baby sloth named Wookiee to a rambunctious baby tiger named Carlie, these zoo babies will fulfill your daily dose of cuteness.

The Denver Zoo is heaven for baby animal lovers!

Last week, we met Wookiee, the latest addition to the zoo's sloth family. And now, we're meeting Kesi, who joined the mandrill family about seven weeks ago. Her birth was actually captured on security camera, which you can see in the video above!

"Kesi is wildly independent," explained Becky Sturges, lead primate keeper at the Denver Zoo. "She is trying her hardest to get away from mom and to experience the world on her own. Mom is a little protective and is holding on tight to her." Next up is learning how to forage food on her own and developing a more adult diet.
