marmoset
Tiny jungle climber
A marmoset is a small monkey native to Central and South American forests, typically having soft fur, tufted ears, and a long tail.
Marmosets are among the smallest primates, some species weighing only a few ounces.
They live in family groups and feed on insects, fruit, and tree sap: The marmoset clung to the branch, watching us with bright eyes.
