Release of the Pygmy Marmosets into Rainforest Exhibit

The time has come to finally release the pygmy marmosets from their holding area and into their huge new forest enclosure.
Our 3 boys are settling in very well here at the Zoo and have been cautiously exploring their new space.
The Rainforest Lookout is now OPEN to the public and the pygmy marmosets and Azara's agouti are now on display.

Those are very surreal looking animals. They're like some whimsical creature from the brush of a fantasy illustrator. Love them! 🥰🐒

Love the interpretation for this exhibit! The map showing where they all come from looks great!

[@pamelaparker508]

It’s really interesting to see those tiny creatures ( the marmosets). Thanks for the visit and the narration.

[@lynnmcardle5249]

Fantastic footage Maxine. They have the sweetest faces, so inquisitive. Can't wait to come and try and spot them ❤

[@Mapalqnfjoz]

Great as always. Love the music choice when showing the marmosets.

Wow. Was here today. Didn't manage to see the Marmosets but great to see the aguties chace each other. The look out aria is briliant.

[@bansheegirl68]

Now, that's the cutest thing I've seen in a while!

[@Emmzhl]

The way you can just see them thinking when they first peer out 😂

[@ingeboudewijn3293]

Can't wait to come see them! Where did the 3 marmosets you used to have go? Will they be coming back?

[@NorthumberlandZoo]

The common marmosets moved to Hobbledown last year when we knocked down the Hothouse. They wouldn’t have been suitable in a mixed exhibit and Hobbledown were very excited to take them on!

[@SomniiLinn]

Watching this a little sped up, and they really look almost like squirrels or lizards even

[@NorthumberlandZoo]

That is recorded in real-time, they are so fast! I want to try film them in slow motion.. that’s a task!

[@sallywebb9270]

Well done for those great shots. The pygmy marmosets look like real characters and it's lovely to see them making themselves at home so quickly. I'm really looking forward to coming to visit again soon 😊

[@J-DoubleU]

Those Pygmy Marmosets are absolutely adorable and so fascinating! I could watch them for hours! 😊😊

[@parrot340]

[@NorthumberlandZoo]
