The rare animal got its name after a naming competition organized by National Geographic KIDS Bulgaria, in which children from around the country submitted proposals. The winner is Tatyana Ivanova from Sofia who received a parrot as an award.
National Geographic KIDS have “adopted” the pygmy marmoset Juju a well as the monkey inhabitants of four cages in the Sofia Zoo.
