What a pair - these funny little creatures are albino Pygmy Marmoset monkeys, born at the Froso Zoo in Ostersund, Sweden this week.

But now one is fighting for its life after his twin brother died just hours after they became the first albinos of their breed to be born in captivity.

Oh gosh. How cute. How sad?

Is the problem due to being albino? Or being born in captivity?

If anyone finds an update -- please post it.

I'll look for one, too.

Thanks.
