When: November 17, 2022

Where: Dierenpark de Oliemeulen Tilburg, the Netherlands

They determined it was too cold to go outside. But because we were there to take some photos for the zoo to use, we really did our best to photograph them in their artificially lit indoors.

Species: Cotton-Top Tamarin (Pinchéaapje)

Latin name: Saguinus Oedipus

Originates from Colombia.

Current status: Critically Endangered

Did you know:

…It is one of the smallest Primates, recognizable by the long, white sagittal crest extending from the forehead to the shoulders.

…They live in groups, forming a clear dominance hierarchy where only the dominant pair breeds, the dominant female using pheromone to prevent the other females in the group from breeding.

…Cotton-Top Tamarins have a sophisticated way of communication; there’s evidence of grammatical structure, a language feature that must be acquired.
