    Hello, Felipe. That's some great news you have. Do you know if they have any plans of hosting more primate species?

    Hi, Enzo. It's indeed great to see Guarulhos Zoo now holding this rare species alongside buffy-tufted marmoset and their other primates. Unfortunately I don't have any information on more species coming.
