The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums
Belgium's Antwerp Zoo recently welcomed Golden Headed Lion Tamarin twins. These little Brazilian monkeys are endangered in the wild and, while the population decline seems to have been stabilized thanks to conservation efforts in Brazil's União Biological Reserve, continued habitat destruction outside of the park makes the prospects of reintroduction beyond União bleak.
Baby marmoset or gremlin? You decide…
Not a gremlin! He (or she) is just having a snooze!
So sad to think they can’t be reintroduced. What we humans do…
Don’t feed them after midnight!
Sooooooo cute!
Not golden lion tamarins– golden HEADED lion tamarins. The GLTs are gold all over. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_tamarin Both species are Brazilian and endangered.
Rhea – We stand corrected! Thanks so much for letting us know.
