White Faced Sakis enjoy their new trees

We were very happy to see the white faced sakis, golden lion tamarins and pygmy marmosets using the trees we had made a few months previously. It was also good to hear that the enclosure is working as it should and now needs less keeper maintenance.

I managed to take these pictures on a sunny Sunday afternoon when we were taking a break from building the sloth tree. The weather had been so nice in Finland during this visit that the animals were spending a lot of the time enjoying the outdoor part of their enclosure. I got lucky with these ones.

I wrote about the building of these trees in a previous post.

Helsinki zoo made a small video of the animals during their first explorations (scroll to bottom of page to see this)
