Cotton Top Tamarin Twins

Watch as our new twin baby cotton top tamarins move about the exhibit on their own, before dashing back to find their father's back.  Born September 1st, these twins are moving off either parent's back for longer and longer periods of time.  Our babies, Syd and Mel, are now learning which foods are good to eat.  Watch them on exhibit:  if either parent is holding a food item and one of the babies cries for it, the parent gives it to the baby.  This is how the babies learn which foods are good for them to eat.  If you see one of the babies cry for a grape, Mama Jasmine's favorite food, you will see her sigh as she hands it over!
