How awesome is this? The Toronto zoo has had a mating pair of swans return every year!

[The Toronto Zoo @TheTorontoZoo]

Each year, a wild pair of Trumpeter swans inhabit our Weston Pond in the Canadian Domain. They are one of the first breeding pairs a part of our Breeding and Release program, dating back to the 70’s! This week, we were excited to discover they've welcomed four new cygnets! 🐣

@webbshasta Congrats!

[Carrie Merrigan @CarrieMerrigan]

@jenna_L_owens They gave me a brand new pair

[Carrie Merrigan @CarrieMerrigan]

@jenna_L_owens I loved the monarch 5s. They worked really well and didn’t fog at all. They were awesome.

"What are these things you call ears, dad?" 🐽 Our #TwoTinyHoglets are getting less and less tiny, they now each weigh over 20lbs!

@Teichroeb_Lab @TheTorontoZoo @wavelandpress The Toronto zoo is amazing!

Hardest part about going on vacation is leaving the pets behind. #vacation

A final goodbye from my zoo keepers! Who doesn’t love ice cream cake.

[Carrie Merrigan @CarrieMerrigan]

@lais_aa_moreira @TheTorontoZoo Oh man. Y’all got me crying. Im sad the project is over. I adore these guys. Im going to miss them so much.

Yesterday, I found out that the zoo keepers at the Toronto zoo named the girl baby tamarin Carrie after me. I’ve never been so honoured. #babytamarin #goldenliontamarins #torontozoo #research

[Carrie Merrigan @CarrieMerrigan]

This week has been bitter sweet. The baby tamarin, a girl, has grown so much in just two short months. Next week will be my last week with her. #tamarins #research #torontozoo #babymonkey

[Carrie Merrigan @CarrieMerrigan]

2 months old already. Happy tamarin Tuesday! #tamarintuesday #research #torontozoo

[Carrie Merrigan @CarrieMerrigan]

@DrSdeG You are a genius.

[Carrie Merrigan @CarrieMerrigan]

What could be better than finding out the baby monkeys sex. It’s a girl! #tamarins #monkeymondays

[Carrie Merrigan @CarrieMerrigan]

The baby tamarin ran up this branch all by itself! It’s big brother Dave didn’t seem to like the idea of it being there by himself though. #baby #growingupsofast #goldenliontamarin #torontozoo #research

@malcolmsramsay The little tamarin monkey I research does that but I can never get a good photo of it. It’s so adorable.

[Carrie Merrigan @CarrieMerrigan]

@Ness4612R He/she is started moving onto other individuals at about 2 weeks old. Today she/he is a month old and a day old and started moving slowly on its own slowly at about 3 weeks old. 😊🙈
