Little Monkey World

This member of the family Callitrichidae still continues to dispute the title of the smallest primate on the planet. However, comparing the performance competitor with the inhabitants of the jungle of Latin America, we are inclined to such a choice.

At least, in the anthropometric data Pygmy marmoset is the smallest uniquely.





And certainly less "rival" in the face of a pygmy mouse lemur.





Dwarf marmosets length not exceeding 15 cm (excluding the tail).





Thus, adult monkeys weighing an average of 100 - 150 grams.



Oddly enough, but at least the range of this species is rather limited, Pygmy marmoset not endangered and distributed within the habitats in sufficient quantities.



The basis of the power of the primacy of the juice of trees and plants.



However, the smallest monkey in the world do not mind to eat fruits, insects or spiders.
