Description:
Keeper Kim Cartwright introduces ‘Ray’ and ‘Raquel’, new arrivals to Folly Farm’s zoo in Pembrokeshire.<br/><br/>Despite their adorable appearance and the fact they’re so much fun to watch as they’re so active, they are, more crucially, classed as a critically endangered species. In fact, only five per cent of their original habitat in the tropical forests of Northwestern Columbia remain – with just 2,000 adults remaining in the wild.<br/><br/>The hope at Folly Farm is that this new couple will become a breeding pair, which would be amazing news for the species.
