OH! How cute is she? This is Conchita the white-naped mangabey monkey who's been born at London Zoo. She's pictured with her special teddy bear.
Her mum has been poorly after the birth, so the three-week-old has been cuddling up to this teddy bear instead.
She's only the second white-naped mangabey to be born in the UK and keeper Andrea Payne is hand-rearing her, giving her attention round the clock.
This sort of monkey usually lives in West Africa, but they are endangered because the habitat where they live is being destroyed.
A quick nip on the nose. Ouch! It's hoped this cheeky monkey will be back with mum Leonie, and dad, Lucky, soon.
