Two tiny and adorable baby pygmy marmosets were born at Sydney’s Symbio Wildlife Park.

(Dua bayi marmoset mini yang mungil dan menggemaskan lahir di Taman Margasatwa Symbio Sydney.)

They weighed just 15 grammes at birth (and were the size of human thumbs) but giving birth to them was, from the mother’s perspective, comparable to a human giving birth to a ten-year-old child.

(Beratnya saat lahir hanya 15 gram (dan seukuran ibu jari manusia) tetapi melahirkan mereka, dari sudut pandang si induk, sebanding dengan manusia yang melahirkan anak berusia sepuluh tahun.)

Their proud parents Gomez and IT were introduced to each other the previous year, when IT, the female, arrived at the zoo. Years of bachelorhood ended for Gomez and the two started a family. Apart from their baby monkeys being very cute, their birth is necessary for the ongoing survival of the endangered species.

(Orang tua mereka, Gomez dan IT, diperkenalkan satu sama lain pada tahun sebelumnya, saat IT, si betina, tiba di kebun binatang. Masa lajang berakhir bagi Gomez dan keduanya memulai sebuah keluarga. Selain karena bayi monyet mereka sangat lucu, kelahiran bayi-bayi ini sangat penting untuk kelangsungan hidup spesies yang terancam punah.)

They are members of the world’s smallest monkey species, with adults weighing in at around the same weight as an average apple, just 100 grammes. They are facing extinction due to deforestation and illegal pet trade.

(Mereka adalah bagian spesies monyet terkecil di dunia, saat dewasa mereka memiliki berat yang kira-kira sama dengan berat rata-rata sebuah apel, hanya 100 gram. Mereka menghadapi kepunahan karena deforestasi dan perdagangan hewan peliharaan illegal.)
