We are sad to share that our golden lion tamarin, Julie, died Sunday. Julie was 11 years old, which is elderly for the species. Golden lion tamarins live to be about 8 years old in the wild and can live to 15 years old in human care. She had been under veterinary care for renal failure and had been receiving treatment, but recently, she stopped responding to it. Due to her declining quality of life, keepers and veterinarians made the difficult decision to humanely euthanize her. Julie had lived at the Small Mammal House with her mate Diogo, who also died last week at the age of 18.
Golden lion tamarins are endangered in the wild. There are about 3,000 tamarins living in the Atlantic coastal forest of Brazil, many of whom are the descendants of tamarins who lived in zoos, including the National Zoo.
