Wellington Zoo emporer tamarins at wellington zoo

- Start date
in this thread http://www.zoobeat.com/17/new-new-zealand-news-16119/ there was the implication that the emperor tamarins had had babies...any updates on this? Did it happen or not?
I have sent an email to Wellington Zoo asking about this .
Dont hold your breath for too long -- their responses are not always helpful .
I also asked them for details of the sex of any offspring that might have been born , as they normally wouldnt think of including this detail unless you specifically ask them ......

Response from Wellington Zoo
Nigel,
Our Emperor Tamerins only arrived this year. We hope to breed them but have not been successful quite yet.
Regards,
I like the phrase "quite yet" ...... perhaps they will mate this evening ?
But given the zoos historic track record for breeding primates , I think there will be sucess sooner or later ( One of the few VERY good things about this zoo )

so what was the deal with the adverts in the bus shelters then (that you mentioned in the other thread)?
