Visitors to Franklin Park Zoo’s Tropical Forest can look for a tiny, new furry face following the recent birth of a cotton-top tamarin. Born on February 27, 2016, the cotton-top tamarin baby, whose sex is not yet known, can be seen on exhibit with its mother Wilma, father Federico (Fred) and siblings Pebbles and Betty.
Zoo New England, which manages Franklin Park Zoo in Boston and Stone Zoo in Stoneham, Mass., participates in the Cotton-Top Tamarin Species Survival Plan (SSP), which is a cooperative, inter-zoo program coordinated nationally through the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). SSPs are designed to maintain genetically diverse and demographically stable captive populations of species.
These small, endangered primates can be found in the understory and canopy of the tropical forest in northwestern Colombia. About the size of a squirrel, these small monkeys are noted for their long whitish crest of hair stemming from the forehead to the nape and flowing over their shoulders. Cotton-top tamarins are monogamous and groups typically include a dominant mated pair, their young, and a few subordinates and young. Their diet consists primarily of insects and fruit, and they play an important role as seed dispersers and pollinators in tropical ecosystems.
