Seven titis and a newborn at the lake

By Alejandro Rigatuso, Fundador y Director de Fundación Loros


This week the Lago de los Titis was keeping a secret that didn't take long to reveal itself. Blanca and her companions — Mexican physicians visiting the sanctuary — were making their way toward the water's edge when the group appeared among the branches: seven titi monkeys moving slowly, with that nervous elegance that defines them. But what stopped the visitors in their tracks was the infant, born barely a week before, clinging to the body of one of the adults as though the entire world depended on that embrace. Blanca documented the moment across four videos that capture the family group in their quiet routine, almost entirely indifferent to the eyes watching them from the shore. The footage now lives in the sanctuary's records as proof that the group carries on, that a new life has entered the world — and that sometimes the finest witnesses to such things arrive from very far away, without ever having planned it.

About the author

Alejandro Rigatuso · Fundador y Director de Fundación Loros

Alejandro Rigatuso arrived at Fundación Loros after years as Vice President of Growth Marketing at Toptal, bringing with him an unconventional perspective: he knows an animal is well by its eyes, "bright, wide open." Lorenzo, the first parrot released, recaptured several times and always set free to fly again, marked him forever. At dusk, around five-thirty, you'll find him at the Mirador de las Ciénagas or wandering around Cerro El Peligro, envisioning observation towers and hundreds of native parrots soaring over a reserve that an entire community calls their own.
