The name of the baby is yet to be confirmed.

Amazon World said on its Facebook page: "We are excited to announce the birth of a baby Emperor Tamarin on the 9th October!

"As you can see it’s super cute!

"Our breeding pair of Emperor Tamarins Cleo and Luigi are doing a fantastic job looking after the little moustache monkey!"

Last month (Thursday, October 31), four raccoons escaped their enclosure at Amazon World.

The raccoons were completing their 30-day isolation period when four of the five sisters managed to escape. 

Winnipeg, Myrtle, Dakota, and Alma were all caught in the park's perimeter, with Marion the only raccoon to stay put.

Rachel Patrick, the head keeper at Amazon World Zoo Park, said: "A huge thank you to the dedicated staff, their drive and determination to get them back — many working 18-hour night shifts into every night — and the Island for its support too, with drones, thermal cameras and sniffer dogs.

"We were waiting for them to complete their 30-day isolation period, before announcing their arrival.

"Then one night they broke through two layers of roofing in the enclosure and somehow managed to squeeze through a hole about 4in wide."
