Baby
Different from adults which have dark fur, the infants are whitish. The coat color darkens with maturation, but the final color varies from light brown to black. The infants suckle for about a year, and may continue to do so for a while if their mother does not give birth the next year. However, even during the first 6 months of life the infants increasingly supplement their diet with natural (and human provided) food. Nevertheless, an infant is highly dependent on mother's help for the first few years of life. The most critical period in the life of an individual is the first year of life.
