A Mini Tumble Monkey

Monkeys are fun to watch. And the Cotton-top Tamarins on Discovery Island can be really fun to watch. They are amazingly acrobatic and ridiculously cute! And this guy looks a lot like on the "tumble monkeys", don't you think?


While we love to watch these guys, and they are a great addition to the cast at DAK, it is important to also remember they are critically endangered in the wild. Only a few thousand are left.

Moving On Up!

The cotton-top tamarins just received a brand new and much improved home on Discovery Island, over by the Creature Comforts store. Slowly but surely, they will be introduced to their swanky new digs, so keep a look out for them. This photo was taken in their old habitat.
