This is Bea. She's in good shape but those are not her muscles. She’s showing off with her fur and fierce frown. Bea is the leader of a white-faced saki troop at Korkeasaari Zoo in Helsinki. #korkeasaari #helsinkizoo @nypost @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/yLYCnUl7kF

"I couldn't believe the huge muscles that the monkey had. The other monkeys were very small in comparison, they all looked a bit scared of her," Oksanen told SWNS.
"The pictures make it look like it's competing in a bodybuilding contest," he added.
The monkey, named Bea, is a white-faced Saki monkey which is known for its muscular build. According to New England Primate Conservancy, Saki monkeys are native to South America and are mostly found in countries like Brazil, Guyana and Venezuela.
