Cotton Top Tamarind Endemic to Colombia and also known as the cottony tamarin, this small marmoset is critically endangered and measures, including its tail, about 37cm in length. It feeds mainly on insects, fruits, SAP and nectar. The pygmy titi lives in the upper Amazon, covering countries such as Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil, and measures just between 14 and 18 centimeters. It eats fruits and insects and is especially talkative. They are also known as lion monkeys and usually live in small communities of eight individuals. The Godey's tamarin stands out mainly for its black fur and inhabits a specific area of the Amazon, being present in Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Brazil. It measures about 30 cm in length and this specimen also feeds on fungi in addition to insects, fruit, SAP and nectar. Black Faced Lion Tamarin this tamarin is critically endangered and is probably one of the most active and curious tamarins in existence. They are especially intelligent and tend to be very playful. Jeffreys tamarin, also known as the white headed tamarin, is one of the specimens endemic to Brazil and measures approximately 50 centimeters. This particular species surprises with the monogamy carried out by the dominant female Silvery tamarin. They live in groups of 610 individuals and only the dominant female reproduces as she emits a pheromone that prevents the other females from ovulating. It measures between 18 and 28 cm and its habitat includes western Brazil and eastern Bolivia. It feeds on eggs, insects, fruit, SAP and reptiles. The black tailed tamarin is the southernmost of the marmosets distributed throughout southern Brazil, the Paraguayan, Chaco and eastern Bolivia. It measures approximately 47 centimeters and lives in slightly larger groups of up to 12 individuals. The Emperor tamarin lives in the Bolivian, Peruvian and Brazilian Amazon. Its large mustache is what once gave it its name, as it was reminiscent of the characteristic mustache of the German Emperor Wilhelm II. Its body measures up to 30 centimeters and it feeds on SAP, fruits, insects, small vertebrates, eggs, flowers and leaves. Golden Lion Tamarin this marmoset native to Brazil and is threatened, and it is estimated that there are barely 1,000 individuals left in the wild. It measures approximately 35cm in length and stands out for its unmistakable shiny fur. It is believed that they are monogamous and that they share the task of caring for their offspring, both females and males. The white eared tamarin is probably one of the least known marmosets and is striking for its white mask that gives it a unique appearance. It is endemic to Brazil and measures about 30 cm. Unlike other marmosets, it feeds solely on insects and only has one pregnancy per year in which it has approximately two young. Finally, it is worth remembering that most of these monkeys are in danger of extinction, mainly due to deforestation and illegal capture of specimens. For this reason, their possession is prohibited in most countries. From Animal Expert we would like to ask you not to adopt a marmoset.
