An online poll was held to choose the winning name after the zoo narrowed it down to four options: Evy, Laka, Zoila and Elena.

After more than 1,000 votes were cast, Evy was the name chosen for the infant Goeldi monkey born in February.

"The name couldn't be more fitting for this wonderful little animaland she is settling into it well," says zoo manager TimSinclair-Smith.

Evy and her parents can be seen at the monkey enclosure at the Kinsmen Children's Zoo exhibit year-round.

The zoo is open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 pm. CST.
