Birth of 2 Cotton-top Tamarins in late November 2022.

Les deux petits se portent à merveille et grandissent bien. Hier, ils ont pu bénéficier de leur premier contrôle vétérinaire ⚕️, l'occasion pour nos équipes de s'assurer du bon état de santé de nos pensionnaires, de déterminer leur sexe et de poser une puce qui permettra leur identification. Ces naissances sont une satisfaction pour l'ensemble des équipes car l'espèce est classée comme " '" selon l'UICN. #parcanimalierdespyrenees #tourismeoccitanie #valleesdegavarnie #pyrenees #hautespyrenees #destinationpyrenees #naissance #zoo #parcanimalier #saguinusoedipus #tamarinpinché"
