This paper describes liver lobe torsion in a white‐lipped tamarin ( Saguinus labiatus ) and an Alaotran gentle lemur ( Hapalemur alaotrensis) . Both animals had a history of acute collapse, and diagnosis was made post‐mortem. To the authors’ knowledge, these are the first reported cases of this pathology in non‐human primates.
