Just some baby red-handed tamarins from work to end the weekend. They usually give birth to twins. Parental care is shared by the entire group, with most of the work being done by the father.

2020 was full of challenges, but one of the highlights was my promotion at work which means I now care for more animals. I'm really happy about it and a friend (guarisquin on IG) perfectly portrayed it here. Here's to a much better 2021!
