lion tamarin
Maned Brazilian primate
Lion tamarins are small monkeys native to Brazil's Atlantic coastal forests, named for the mane-like ring of hair around their faces.
These brightly colored primates—golden, black, or golden-headed depending on species—are among the world's most endangered mammals.
The golden lion tamarin has become a symbol of conservation efforts in Brazil.
