T'Noya Gonzales, a biologist for the Moody Gardens Rainforest Pyramid, offers Gracie, the new Cotton-top Tamarin, treats of grubs and crickets Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2016, during a training session with the rainforest's other Cotton-top Tamarin, Victor. A tamarin is a monkey that is about the size of a squirrel. Wild tamarins reside in tropical parts of Central and South America. The exhibit’s two tamarins can roam throughout the Rainforest Pyramid, which has a one-acre floor and extends upward about 100 feet, but Victor had already set up a section near the bottom as his home territory. After receiving Gracie from a zoo in California Dec. 2, staff spent the next three weeks acclimating her to Victor’s space. (Jennifer Reynolds/The Galveston County Daily News via AP)
