Chester Zoo welcomes birth of 'tiny' rare monkey

Apr 18,2020 8:26 pm

An extremely rare cotton-top tamarin monkey has been born at Chester Zoo .

The miniature species, weighing just 40g, is among The World 's most endangered primates, with only about 2,000 left in The Wild .

Zoo Keeper Siobhan Ward said: " It's a little too tiny and a bit early on to determine its gender at The Moment . "

The 10cm-tall creatures have a distinctive look with heads striped with white fur and are often found in The Illegal Wildlife Trade .

The Zoo said the species is predicted to decline by 80% over The Next 20 years.

Nick Davis , The Zoo 's deputy curator of mammals, said their striking appearance " tends to draw poachers" and their wild habitats have been destroyed by commercial logging.

He continued: " Their crest of hair raises up when then they get excited, or feel that they need to warn off danger, making them look bigger and more intimidating.

" It wasn't that long ago that these miniature primates were seen as quite a common species.

" So their dramatic demise over The Last few years shows just how a species thought to be safe can change so rapidly. "

The Zoo said The Animals were highly intelligent and can live for about 25 years but should never be kept as pets.
