Milwaukee County Zoo
A baby Japanese macaque was born June 8 at the Milwaukee County Zoo, the zoo reported in a blog post.
Its parents are mom Usagi, 12 years old, and dad Kota, 10 years old. It’s Usagi’s second offspring, bringing the Zoo’s total population of Japanese macaques to 11.
The baby’s sex is still undetermined, the zoo reported.
“The animal care team shares that all is going very well with the baby, and they will remain hands-off,” according to the blog post. Usagi has been holding the baby close, so zoo staff members have not examined or weighed it. The baby has not yet been named.
Also known as snow monkeys, Japanese macaques live on the islands of Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu. Their natural territory is “further north than any other primate, apart from man,” the zoo wrote.

MILWAUKEE — The FBI is reportedly looking to interview Milwaukee police officers about the 2020 presidential election.
The Milwaukee Police Department confirmed to TMJ4 that the department “is aware that the FBI may be interviewing members of our department regarding the 2020 Election.”
This marks the latest in a series of federal election inquiries in the area. Earlier this month, agents visited the home of Milwaukee County elections director Michelle Hawley.
The FBI has not said why they were attempting to contact Hawley, and they have not yet replied to requests for information on their probe of the Milwaukee officers.
President Donald Trump has continuously made false claims that he won the 2020 election, and election-related lawsuits continue to be a focus of the Department of Justice under the Trump administration.
On Thursday, U.S. District Judge James Pederson dismissed a DOJ lawsuit seeking to compel the state of Wisconsin to hand over detailed voter registration information.
The DOJ has sued at least 30 states and the District of Columbia seeking to force the release of detailed voter data. In addition to Wisconsin, judges have rejected similar attempts in Maine, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Oregon and Rhode Island.
