Rare Cotton-Top Tamarin Twins Born at Disney's Animal Kingdom

Disney's Animal Kingdom has welcomed twin baby cotton-top tamarin monkeys, the first born at Walt Disney World since 2001. The species is considered rare, with less than 7,500 remaining in the wild due to the illegal pet trade and deforestation. The babies can be seen at the cotton-top tamarin enclosure on Discovery Island. Disney works with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan to ensure responsible breeding of threatened species like the cotton-top tamarin and has supported organizations like Proyecto Titi in Colombia to help protect the monkeys.
