Whose monkey has a "sun" on his head?

There are so many little moving suns here?

Oh no! It turned out to be a little creature with dyed hair?

This child has been dyeing his hair since he was young? !

And she has the same bold blonde hair as a lion!

The golden down shimmers gently in the sun.

It seems that every ray of light is

Telling a heartwarming story.

Welcome to the Golden-headed Lion Tamarin——

The "Zhenzhen Junjun" family,

Let’s experience the miniature life of mini marmosets together!

There is a new little sun in my home!

On August 13, 2024, a little sun was born in the home of the golden-headed lion tamarin "Zhenzhen Junjun"! This newly born little sun nestled tightly on the back of its mother "Zhenzhen", as if it was the most delicate "little pendant" on its body.

Hidden in the mother's hair, it's hard to find if you don't look carefully

Q: Can you guess how much the cub weighs when it is born?

Here is a tip for you: the weight of an adult golden lion tamarin is 480-700 grams. Answer: The weight of a golden lion tamarin cub at birth is about 9%-15% of its mother's. Compared to the size of its mother, the cubs are quite heavy!

Mangosteen with eyes closed

When it was born, it had a round head, dark hair, closed eyes, and slightly wrinkled eyebrows. The breeder named it "Mangosteen", expressing his good wishes for the healthy growth of this little life.

What's delicious? It makes Zhenzhen's eyes light up.

Like other newborn marmoset babies, Mangzhu clings to his mother Zhenzhen's back almost 24 hours a day for the first week or so after birth.

Little Shanzhu lies quietly on her mother's back, not disturbing her mother's eating.

Despite carrying the baby mangosteen, the experienced mother Zhenzhen did not let it affect her daily life. Zhenzhen was still able to flexibly shuttle between the trees and forage for food freely, ensuring that she had enough nutrition to feed the baby mangosteen in the best condition.

A few days later, as Shanzhu gradually adapted to the new environment, dad Junjun began to take the initiative to take care of the child, taking over the task of carrying Shanzhu from mom Zhenzhen. Since Shanzhu has not yet been completely weaned, in addition to the task of breastfeeding, which is taken care of by mom Zhenzhen, the rest of the baby-caring tasks are mainly undertaken by dad Junjun.

Junjun is very vigilant

In the golden-headed lion tamarin society, raising children is a task that involves the whole family. Usually, not only the parents are involved in raising the cubs, but also the brothers and sisters will assist the parents and help take care of the younger family members, thus accumulating valuable parenting experience. However, the situation of "Zhenzhen Junjun"'s family is a little special!

Brother Qingtian: I am just a child too.

Sister Bengbeng: I am a playful child.

I will learn slowly with my younger brothers and sisters

One month later, as Mangosteen gradually grew up, his curiosity became stronger and stronger. The little guy has begun to try to leave his parents' backs and bravely take the first step of exploration.

Start foraging on your own

Although his movements are still a little shaky, this does not prevent him from becoming a brave little monkey. He can move independently at the age of 2 months!

Start jumping between perches on your own

I'll be alone for a while, I'm not afraid

The marmoset couple Zhenzhen and Junjun also have more time to themselves and can once again enjoy the tranquility and sweetness of the "world of two marmosets".

Look, it's so comfortable! The little paws are all raised

Stick together

But sometimes, Bengbeng also wants to join in the fun between mom and dad

They comb each other's hair, which is not only a part of daily care, but also an important way to deepen their emotional communication.

One is serious and the other is enjoyable

But as long as mom and dad have left, mangosteen always follows closely behind them, like a little follower. It is really a curious and dependent little mangosteen.

Oh, catch up!

I want to stick with mom and dad!

As Mangosteen grows up day by day, not only does his personality become more lively and curious, but even his hair is quietly changing. From the initial short yellow fluff,

until it gradually grows into long, thick blond hair,

It's like a little sun that becomes brighter and brighter.

Let us continue to record its growth journey together!
