The pygmy marmoset is the smallest of the South American primates. They live in monogamous family groups. Both parents share the duty of raising their offspring. Two female otter pups were born at the Zoo on April 12, 2000. Parents and pups are on exhibit together and enjoying the winter.
Otters are great cold weather animals.
Be sure to see them playing in the snow. The Dall Sheep are prey animals so the young develop very quickly. The babies can stand and run within just a few hours after birth. The sheep and their babies are on exhibit daily. Return to Top Penguin Chicks Hatch in May Also in May the Magellan Penguins in the Living Shores Aquarium hatched five chicks.
