Zookeepers have said they are “absolutely thrilled” at the birth of a critically-endangered monkey.
The cotton-top tamarin, named for the wild crest of white hair that grows as they mature, was born at Blackpool zoo to parents Rosa and Rico.
Its birth has been celebrated as there are only an estimated 2,000 adults left in the wild due to habitat loss in their native Colombia.
“Every single successful birth helps secure the future of this precious species,” Emma Swindells, senior keeper, said.
