Where to find me in the Zoo

The Philadelphia Zoo recently welcomed two new Bolivian gray titi monkeys to the Dodge Rare Animal Conservation Center.

The Bolivian gray titi is a small monkey found in tropical forests of central Bolivia.  Both sexes have thick, long fur, making them look "fluffy" and bigger than they actually are.  The fur varies from buffy to gray to orangish above and orangish below, with the tail buffy to blackish.  This titi has conspicuous white tufts of fur at the ears, and is sometimes called the "white-eared titi".

Our monkeys, a five-year-old male named "Bellini" and an eight-year-old female named "Marjorie Belle", both arrived at the Zoo in late October, and are now comfortable enough to meet the public.
