Two Titís Return to El Paraíso
By Omar Enrique Verdugo Cabeza, Cuidador de las aves
Omar Enrique Berdugo Cabeza had been standing still for a while at the release point on the El Paraíso farm, near the Arroyo area, when he saw them coming. Two titís — the same pair released back in July of 2025 — were returning from the forest, healthy and carrying that calm ease that belongs to animals who already know where home is. Omar turned on his camera just in time to capture everything.
In the months since their release, this pair has navigated tigrillos and other predators that prowl through the riparian vegetation along the Arroyo. No one guides them. No one watches over them up close. They learn on their own — making mistakes, correcting course — the way any creature does when it truly belongs to a place. That they came back that day, whole, is proof that something is working.
Omar says the moment left him with a lesson. He didn't put it into many words, and perhaps he didn't need to: sometimes two small primates walking back on their own terms say more than any report ever could.
