Apr 09 - Amazonia

I thought the ones in the amazonia were red bellied tit monkey? Coppery titi are a completely different species.

I spoke with a volunteer in Amazonia, she only mentioned coppery and that it had moved to the small mammal house when its mate died. Both species are ghastly rare in the US (whether this is the only individual or if there are more).

I remember reading that the zoo had Red bellied titi at the Amazonia and they were actually brother and sister.
 
Perhaps the zoo has had all three species? I didn't visit Amazonia today- no time. But the super rare coppery titi was certainly in the small mammal house, and a breeding pair of white eared titi is in Amazonia.

I know the coppery titi is in the Small Mammal house.

Since when has the zoo had white eared titi? Dear god I can't wait for the new website to launch. Hopefully they will actually update the new one!
 
White eared titi has been in Amazonia for about two months.

Well that's nice to know. Did you get a photo of them?

Also they're a breeding pair? I don't think the zoo has ever had an animal that lived in the upper level forest that has breed.

Although I could be wrong.
 
Got a photo, not very good, but will upload tomorrow. They are still a bit freaked out- just sitting together with tails entwined. They were breeding at wherever they came from, the zoo hopes they will continue. What else lives in the upper level of Amazonia? Besides the pair of titi, pair of roseate spoonbills, some five ducks, and a sunbittern, I saw nothing.

Red footed tortoise, Goeldi's monkey (never seen them but I read that they were moved back a while back) Yellow-rumped caciques, A few more species of bird and technically the fish species that live in the river.

Oh, that's a bit empty, for a rainforest. Perhaps the South American birds from the bird house will move here when it closes for renovation.
