A bright orange baby monkey is melting hearts around the world.

The Taronga Zoo has posted photos of the rare Francois' langur.

Keepers have named him Nangua, the mandarian word for pumpkin. He was found cradled in his mother's arms earlier this month.

Langur babies are normally born with bright orange hair, the zoo posted on its website. It is thought that it helps adult langurs find their babies.

The adults have black hair.
