RACINE -- The Racine Zoo recently revealed the birth of a pair of emperor tamarin twins, and now they need your help to name them.

Breeding pair Isabella and Marquis had their babies back in February, and now both babies have been confirmed as males.

With that in mind, the zoo is hoping you'll drop by their Facebook page and participate in a poll to name the twins, or do the same at the zoo's gift shop.

“We have been keeping an eye on the entire family both on site and using cameras within the exhibit, just like we did with the last birth” said Crystal Champeau-Williams, the Zoo’s primary primate specialist. “Our previous set of twins just celebrated their first birthday on the 18th, this is just such an exciting time for us.”
