COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Columbus Zoo announced the birth of two vervet monkeys.
The zoo said TomTom, a male, was born to mom Sassie on March 28.
Another male, DJ James Kennedy, was born to mom Lucy on April 17.
The mothers and babies are doing well, the zoo said.
The zoo describes TomTom as timid but he is starting to explore more of his indoor and outdoor habitats.
His favorite thing to do is climb something then jump on his mother's' back.
DJ hangs out a lot with his mother and grandmother but is very independent.
He also checks out the camera when zookeepers take his photo.
The babies' names are inspired by the reality TV show, “Vanderpump Rules."
Vervet monkeys practice allo-parenting, which is a mutual care of infants by the troop.
