Consider a Hamiltonian system with three degrees of freedom that is a perturbation of integrable one with a homoclinic orbit to a elliptic-hyperbolic equilibrium. I will discuss conditions when this perturbed system has homoclinic orbits to invariant tori in the center manifold of the equilibrium. It is proved that the number of such orbits can range generically from 4 to 16 depending upon the perturbation.
