The first order of business for Drusillas Park in Alfriston, near Eastbourne was to host a competition to give the new arrival a name. The competition has now closed, and the winning name was Kylo.
Kylo the colobus monkey was named after Kylo Ren in Star Wars; his black and white fur mirroring Kylo’s battle with dark and light. The little Rey of sunshine has been delighting visitors already and can be seen clinging to mum, Makena, as she jumps around their enclosure.
The competition received hundreds of submissions, with lots of people eager to be in with a chance of naming the baby. There were some fantastic entries, and names such as Rolo, Lokki, Mojo and Mambo ranked among the best.
