Mom and Dad Marmosets
Marmoset monkeys play with and groom one another in a marmoset monkey colony display in the lobby of the National Primate Research Center. A red tag indicates a female monkey of breeding age, and a blue tag indicates a male monkey of breeding age. Endocrinologist Toni Ziegler and colleagues have found that male monkeys of two different species — marmosets and tamarins — experience sympathetic symptoms of pregnancy when their mates are expecting offspring.
