CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — The Chattanooga Zoo has welcomed two tiny mustached monkeys to the family! The emperor tamarins–a small primate species found in Peru, Bolivia and Brazil–were born on October 25th, 2025, to Dolly and Parmigiano, their mother and father.
Now, the zoo is asking for the public to help name them.
Dolly, a female who is nearly 10 years old, was originally born in Wisconsin but has lived in Chattanooga since 2017.
Her mate Parmigiano is a 4-year-old male who moved to Chattanooga from Massachusetts in 2024.
The sex of their offspring has not been identified, but will be determined at an upcoming veterinary exam…
