It is called King Nyani. There are two others, one at the Brice Museum in Connecticut (USA) and one at Taronga Zoo in Sydney (Australia). It was delivered to Brookfield Zoo in 2021 after spending a year on display at Hudson Yards in New York (USA).
Nice, I will have to make a point of trying to go back again. I love going to Zoos and Brookfield is one of the best one I have been too, though the St Louis Zoo is probably the best from the maybe a dozen or so I have seen.

Is it new? I have not been in like ten years but I don’t remeber that giant statue.
