Cotton Top Tamarin Monkey

Cotton-top tamarin / Lisztaffe / Saguinus oedipus
Conservation status: CR - Critically Endangered

Habitants from the northwestern forested area in Colombia, these tiny primates leap from tree to tree foraging insects, sap, nectar & a diversity of fruits. They play an essential role in the tropical ecosystem, they are highly social and travel in large family groups.

Unfortunately, this critically endangered monkey's survival is threatened by extensive forest destruction due to cattle ranching, human infrastructure and urban expansion. No less worrying is their capture for the illegal pet trade.
