The San Antonio Zoo announced the births of two critically endangered cotton-top tamarin twins in its Neotropica area.
The zoo said the “tiny bundles of energy” were born in late March and “are already stealing hearts as they bond with their family troop in our Neotropica area.”
Officials said twin births are common among tamarins, accounting for roughly 80% of all pregnancies for the species.
“To celebrate the moment, twins born at Methodist Hospital Westover Hills were photographed alongside twin cotton-top tamarin stuffed animals, creating a sweet visual connection between the zoo’s newest arrivals and growing families in San Antonio,” the zoo said.
