Fact file
Bonded coppery titi monkey pairs intertwine their tails
Male and female pairs defend their home range by performing vocal duets at the borders of territory
Females give birth to a single offspring each year. The male then becomes the primary caregiver, carrying their young from 48 hours after birth until they are six months old
HOW WE'RE HELPING
Like all the animals in our care our coppery titi monkeys are amazing ambassadors for their relatives in the wild and help hundreds of thousands of people connect with nature every year. They encourage visitors to learn about the threats facing wildlife and the action they can take to help create a world where nature is protected, valued and loved.
As a wildlife conservation charity, we care for the animals here at the zoo and work to protect species at risk around the world. From providing expertise in genetics and veterinary health, to protecting wild places with local conservation partners, and even restoring threatened species to the wild, we are active where we are needed most.
