Eloise
(Ellie)
Eloise, affectionately known as "Ellie," is the best mom a young siamang could hope to have. She's had lots of practice, having given birth to her seventh offspring, Karim-Alam, in 2006. Ellie likes to sing (when she's not busy rushing around from tree to tree), and can often be heard harmonizing with her lifelong mate, Unkie. So what does mom like for dinner? Grapes and bananas.
