We are proud to announce the arrival of a baby douroucouli. Native to South America douroucouli are also known as owl monkeys, and are the world’s only nocturnal monkey.

Keepers have yet to name the baby which was born on 1 Feb 2010. When fully grown douroucoulis are around 40cm long. They live in small family groups and at Marwell can be found in their home at the back of the World of Lemurs. Our newest arrival can usually be seen hitching a ride on dad or mum’s back.
