Pygmy Marmoset (Cebuella pygmaea)
Pygmy Marmoset (Cebuella pygmaea) The Pygmy Marmoset, the smallest monkey in world, has a unique nocturnal feeding habit. They have chisel-like incisor teeth which allow them to gorge holes in bark to start flow of tree fluids on which they feed. Interestingly, Both human rubber tappers and marmosets must be careful not to over-tap the trees, which would have the effect of killing the tree and destroy their source of sustenance |
