Dolores, along with 10 other cotton-top tamarins, was brought to Jungle Friends after the lab where they had previously been living closed its doors. When they first arrived, Dolores was very unsure of her new environment. The outside was especially scary to her, which is understandable since she’d been inside her entire life. Once she discovered the warm sunshine outside, however, that all changed! She and her partner gradually made their way down the runway and into their outdoor habitat. She now enjoys sitting outside in her habitat or in her runway while she watches the world around her.
