Pygmy marmosets (also called finger monkeys) live in the tops of trees in the rainforests of South America
• These animals have fingernails they use as claws to climb trees
• Butterflies, fruits, berries and tree sap are all favorite foods of this small omnivore
• One male and one female pygmy marmoset breed and live together for a lifetime
• Pygmy marmosets groom each other’s fur just like other monkeys do
These marmosets have a coat of orangish brown fur with a mixture of brown and black stripes. The dark fur of this small animal helps to hide it as it moves across tree branches. The fingernails of this monkey serve as claws that can grasp the bark of a tree as it climbs. The way this marmoset moves and climbs is similar to that of a squirrel you might see in your local park.
It has a small nose, small eyes and an ear on each side of the top of its head. These marmosets have extra flexibility in its neck allowing it to turn its head to look backward. This helps the animal to be on high alert for predators in the area.
A pygmy marmoset’s tail is longer than its body. It uses its tail for balance as it moves along tree limbs high up in the Amazon forest.
