How’s it hanging? 🙃

Hi, Hermey the elf here! Happy Monkey Day! I’m hanging out with my friends, the cotton-top tamarins. These tiny monkeys don’t have prehensile tails, but they use their clawed toes to hang from perches to get to food. I tried it out, too! 😅 The tamarins spend a lot of the winter in their warm, heated den, but they get to go outside on warm, sunny days. You can see them when you visit through their big den window!
