Zoo staff are celebrating after a record breeding season for their brown capuchin monkeys.

Six infants, whose sex has not been recorded yet, have joined the two groups of 18 capuchin monkeys at Edinburgh Zoo.

First-time mum Penelope gave birth to the youngest of the six on July 29 and the oldest of the new arrivals is 10 months old.
