Celebrating the Arrival of Twin Black-Tailed Marmosets
In the heart of our zoo, nestled amidst our Fragile Forests area, a remarkable event has unfolded - the birth of twin black-tailed marmosets. As we marvel at these tiny, delicate creatures, it's crucial to understand why their arrival is significant.
Black-tailed marmosets, native to the lush rainforests of South America, face numerous threats in the wild. Habitat destruction, illegal pet trade, and deforestation have all taken their toll on these enchanting primates, pushing them further up the endangered ladder in recent years.
