THE PYGMY MARMOSET THE WORLD’S SMALLEST MONKEY.. 5 INCHES TALL WEIGHING ONLY 4 OUNCES

These tiny creatures can easily fit into the palm of your hand. Native to the rainforests of South America, pygmy marmosets are incredibly agile, leaping from tree to tree with the greatest of ease. Their sharp claws help them cling to branches, and their bushy tails serve as balancing tools as they navigate the dense jungle.

Despite their small size, pygmy marmosets are full of personality. They live in tight-knit family groups and communicate with high-pitched calls that can be heard echoing through the canopy. These monkeys primarily feed on insects, nectar, and fruit, using their specialized teeth to extract sap from tree trunks.
