Como Zoo has named its new baby emperor tamarin twins after coaches at the University of Minnesota.
Fleck and Pitino were born at the St. Paul zoo on Aug. 8. P.J. Fleck is the new coach of the Gopher football team. Richard Pitino leads the Minnesota men’s basketball team.
The names were announced Thursday, when Fleck makes his coaching debut in Minnesota.
“With the beginning of the Gophers football season kicking off tonight, and the basketball season around the corner, we wanted to show support to our neighbors down the road and to their young coaches,” Michelle Furrer, Como Park Zoo & Conservatory Director, said in prepared statement.
