Chester Zoo announced the birth of critically endangered cotton-top tamarin twins on June 30. The monkeys, native to northern Colombia, are part of a Europe-wide effort to prevent their extinction due to habitat loss and the pet trade. With only 2,000 individuals remaining in the wild, the twins' arrival is an important milestone in the conservation breeding program for the rare species.
