This pair of fan-tash-tic lovebirds – or rather Emperor tamarins – are one of Drusillas Park’s longest standing couples.

Lucy and Tiny Tim were introduced to each other in 2005 and have been inseparable since.

This year, to mark their tenth anniversary, the mini monkeys gave each other the greatest gift of all – a new heir to their animal kingdom.

The baby bundle was born last month and is the couple’s ninth baby born at the park.

Emperor tamarins take their name from the 19th Century Emperor, Wilhelm II of Germany, who they are said to resemble on account of their distinctive moustaches.

They are a threatened species in the wild, found naturally in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America.

Over the last decade Lucy and Tim’s love has continued to blossom – and with it their family.

The couple welcomed Pancho to the world in 2008, followed by Havana and Pepe in 2009, Mateo, Cruz and Lola in 2011 and Victoria and Albert in 2012.

Six of the eight siblings still live at Drusillas so the new baby will have plenty of monkey business to look forward to in the weeks ahead.
