The world’s smallest species of monkey has given birth to two beautiful baby boys at Twycross Zoo. The Pygmy marmosets, measuring in at smaller than a pencil and weighing less than 15g, are expected to grow up to 6 inches in length.
The month-old mini marmosets were born at the award-winning conservation charity to mother, PJ and father, Februari.
Home to over 500 animals of 130 different species from all around the world, the Zoo is open from 10am to 6pm during the Easter holidays.
There is something for everyone at Leicestershire’s award-winning conservation charity. Walk the Wetlands area, marvel at the winged wonders of the Butterfly Farm, meet the meerkats, pop and see the penguins and say hi to the snow leopards.
If that wasn’t enough, visitors can explore the Himalaya Centre, with its warm and inviting coffee shop, super soft play and newly refurbished, fully licensed restaurant, which features breath-taking views overlooking the Snow Leopard enclosure.
Twycross Zoo relies upon the generosity of its visitors to support its conservation work. Adult zoo tickets are priced £19.95 and children aged 2+ are priced £14.95, for children under 2 and carers entry is free.
