Capuchin twins!
A very rare event! There is only a 2.4% chance of a capuchin bearing twins. Last year in the Monkeyland forest, two of the capuchins had twins and they all survived! We are waiting anxiously this year to see if the event is repeated!

The tufted capuchin is a New World primate from South America. As traditionally defined, it is one of the most widespread primates in the Neotropics, but it has recently been recommended considering the black-striped, black and Golden-bellied Capuchins as separate species in a new genus, thereby effectively limiting the tufted capuchin to the Amazon Basin and nearby regions.
