Double the delight - meet our Cotton-top twins!

Double trouble? More like double the delight - meet our cotton-top twins!
Our twin tamarins are growing up fast and proud parents Mr and Mrs Nuri have been sharing the parenting duties - climbing the canopy of their rainforest habitat with one twin on each of their backs.
As our primate keeper Grace says it’s exciting to see our new parents gain confidence and take on this exciting role for the first time. This new chapter in their lives is especially exciting, as these primates are critically endangered in their wild home of Columbia.
You can see our precious twins as they snack on what they love most (insects of course!) in our tamarin & pygmy marmoset keeper talk - today, Saturday and Sunday. See our full keeper talk schedule on our website.

Could add some more fun facts. The cotton top tamarins usually make throuples, one female and two males. The females mostly give birth to twins so having two males to each carry a baby makes sense
