The zoo celebrates these births as a milestone in conservation.

Twycross Zoo is celebrating the exciting arrival of three new primate residents. The zoo announced it has welcomed a coppery titi monkey, a species known for its distinct appearance. This birth is particularly special as the infant's mother, Sirena, was also born at Twycross Zoo in 2010.
