Masaya, a 15-year-old roloway monkey, has successfully given birth following a critical surgical intervention that removed a mass from her foot.
The surgery, which took place last summer, was pivotal in preventing the need for amputation, thus preserving her ability to care for her offspring.
This event not only marks a significant reproductive milestone for Masaya but also emphasizes the importance of veterinary advancements in supporting endangered species.
