Albino Pygmy Marmosets
Recently in the Roso Zoo in Ostersund, twin Albino Pygmy Marmoset Monkeys were born, unfortunately both were killed hours after birth. These Pygmy Marmosets are exceedingly rare due to the fact that they lack pigment, making them appear like Chewbacca from star wars.
Although Pygmy Marmosets are usually born in twins, Albinos are rare and prized. The zoo keepers tried everything in their power to keep these cute albino pygmy marmoset monkeys alive but they died shortly after birth. This is likely due to being Albino the Pygmy Marmosets have decreased immune systems.
These were the first Albino Pygmy Marmoset monkeys born in captivity, unfortunately they died.
