Every 2 - 3 years, a mother will give birth to one entirely black baby. No one else besides the mother looks after the baby. The baby is continuously carried by the mother, clinging to her and at about 5 months of age it will begin riding on her back, wrapping its tail around the mother's tail for additional security. It will be dependent on its mother's milk for 2 years. Juveniles at the age of 24 to 50 months old never ride on their mother's back but they will still stay close to her.

A female may raise 4 to 8 babies in its reproductive lifetime. Twins are known to occur but are likely very rare.

Similiar to humans most commonly monkey's give birth to 1 - 2 babies at a time; gestation is approximatly 170 days or 5 1/2 months. They will reproduce 1 - 2 times in their lifetime.
