| | Pygmy Marmoset (Cebuella pygmaea) |
 | | The pygmy marmoset is a gummivore-insectivore and occasionally eats fruit, buds, flowers, nectar, and vertebrates (Kinzey, 1997; Soini, 1982, 1988; Ramirez, 1985a, b; Coimbra-Filho and Mittermeier, 1977). |
 | | The home range of the pygmy marmoset is determined by the distribution of trees used as a source of gum, and when gum yield drops in a certain area the group will move on to a new area (Soini, 1993, 1988). |
 | | Predators of pygmy marmosets include: the tayra (Eira barbara), the ocelot (Leopardus pardalis), the oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus), the margay (Leopardus wiedii), the jaguarondi (Herpailurus yaguarondi), pit viper (Bothrops atrox), and birds of prey (accipitrids and falconids) (Soini, 1988). |
