Beautiful Finger Monkey

Beautiful Finger Monkey Pygmy Marmoset

Oh yes, we are members of the primate family. But have you seen this? The finger monkey is the tiniest living primate in the world! (Our relation..) It’s so small that it can hold on to your finger. This cute little primate hugs and grips on to your finger so tightly, that it pulls your heartstrings and you wish you could take it home with you. Finger monkeys are, as a matter of fact, pygmy marmosets. They are also known by the names ‘pocket monkey’ and ‘tiny lion’. These primates belong to the family Callitrichidae, species Cebuella and genus C. pygmaea. The finger monkeys are native to rain-forests of Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Colombia.. in Central and South America. Here is the latest picture of two of these pygmy marmosets being held in one lucky human hand:
