A monkey who lived at the Sacramento Zoo all of her life has died, officials announced Wednesday. <\/p>\n

The Sacramento Zoo says they started seeing signs of illness in Siidam, a white-handed gibbon, last week. <\/p>\n

She was brought to the veterinary hospital and diagnosed with severe liver disease. Still, even with intensive care, zookeepers say Siidam continued to decline. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Officials then decided on March 2 to humanely euthanize Siidam, the zoo says. <\/p>\n

Siidam was born at the Sacramento Zoo and lived all of her 38 years of life there.<\/p>\n

Zookeeper say they are keeping a close eye on Ewell, Siidam’s father, after her death. <\/p>\n

White-handed gibbons are primates native to Southeast Asia. They are listed as Endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species.\u00a0<\/p>\n
