Cute alert: Another round of cotton-top tamarins are born

Disney’s Animal Kingdom is once again welcoming a litter of cotton-top tamarins. This time there are triplets.

These babies have spent the last several days bonding with their parents and siblings, according to Disney. Both mom and dad share infant care responsibilities, carrying their young on their backs until approximately 14 weeks of age.

In June 2023, two babies were born at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, for the first time since 2001. The average length of gestation for a cotton-top tamarin is 140 days.  

Although cotton-top tamarins are a rare species, with fewer than 7,500 remaining in the wild.
