The Sequoia Park Zoo would like to welcome two of it's newest residents, Moon & Mercury, our Cotton-topped tamarins! These little guys have traveled all the way from Moody Gardens in Galveston, TX to make their home in Eureka.
Cotton-topped tamarins are a dynamic monkey species found only in the tropical rainforests of Columbia. When excited or alarmed, these tamarins raise the hair on the crown of their head and stand up tall to make themselves look bigger.
Stop by soon to get a little glimpse of the tropics right here in Humboldt County!

The Sequoia Park Zoo would like to welcome 5 Patagonian cavies “Squeaker”, “Candy Cane”, “Licorice”, “Apple”, and “Taffy”. These Patagonian cavies, also known as “Maras”, are the second largest rodent in the world, smaller than the Capybara.
These South American rodents may resemble a rabbit or a small deer but actually have more in common with a guinea pig—they even squeak like a guinea pig.
But don’t let their small stature fool you, when chased by a predator the cavies can run up to 20 mile an hour and jump up to 6 feet high.
To see these new zoo residents head towards the center of the zoo on your way to the barnyard. There you can spot them stretching out in the sun, enjoying the lush grass, or if you’re lucky you may just see them take a romp around their new yard!
