Golden marmoset

What is a "golden marmoset"?

Golden marmosets, also known as golden lion tamarins, are a species of small primates native to the Atlantic coastal forests of Brazil. They are known for their striking appearance, with a luxurious golden-orange coat, a long mane-like fur around their face, and a fluffy tail. Golden marmosets are highly social animals that live in family groups and communicate through vocalizations, gestures, and scent marking. They are skilled climbers, spending most of their time in the trees, and feed primarily on insects, fruits, and nectar. Golden marmosets are considered endangered due to habitat loss and fragmentation, and they are the subject of conservation efforts to protect their populations and their unique ecosystem.
