With their punk hairstyles and bright colors, marmosets and tamarins are among the most attractive primates on earth. These
fast-moving, lightweight animals live in the rainforests of South America. Their small size MAKES it easy for them to dart about the

their chisel-like incisor teeth to dig into tree bark and lap up the gummy sap that seeps out, leaving telltale, oval-shaped HOLES in
the branches when they have finished. But as vast tracts of rainforest are cleared for plantations and cattle ranches, marmosets and
tamarins are in serious DANGER of extinction
