Cotton-top
Tamarin
|
|
|
This tiny monkey has
a crest which looks as if it is made from soft, fluffy white cotton. When
it is excited or wants to show off it raises its white crest for an impressive
display.

|
About three
quarters of the cotton-top tamarin's forest home in Columbia has been destroyed,
so it is likely that the species will become extinct unless people take
action. |

|
When baby
tamarins are born (usually twins) the father helps with the birth and looks
after them , only handing them back to mum at feeding times! |
