White-lipped tamarin (Saguinus labiatus)

Can't find evidence of this species being held in any other US zoos. They were unsigned, so I took two subpar photos to ID them later - I didn’t realize just how rare they were at the time.
Thanks for uploading these photos, a very interesting and unexpected species! Is Metro Richmond as bad in quality as some online commenters have said? Do you plan on doing a review?
 
@SusScrofa It wasn’t a great zoo by any means, but certainly not the worst I've been to. It's definitely a rarities over quality place, though, and almost all of their enticing ungulates from years back are gone at this point. I'd like to do some manner of review, but I'm not sure how likely it will be or when it might come (I live right in Helene's path, and while I and everyone I know are okay I'm probably going to wind up pouring a lot of energy into getting things back to normal now that this pre-planned vacation is over).
