	Pygmy Marmoset - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pygmy Marmoset (Callithrix (Cebuella) pygmaea) is a monkey native to the rainforest canopies of western Brazil, southeastern Colombia, eastern Ecuador, and eastern Peru.
		Despite its name, the Pygmy Marmoset is somewhat different from the typical marmosets classified in genus Callithrix.
		Pygmy Marmosets have a tawny coat, and ringed tails that are as long as their bodies.

	Primate Factsheets: Pygmy marmoset (Callithrix pygmaea)
		Pygmy marmosets are the smallest monkeys in the world, weighing a mere 119 g (4.20 oz) on average and measuring, on average, 136 mm (5.35 in) (Soini 1988; Rowe 1996).
		Pygmy marmosets are able to support their weight on the tips of their long, sharp, claw-like nails (called tegulae) which are different from the flat nails (called ungulae) seen in other primates, including humans, and are probably an adaptation to a life spent clinging to trees (Kinzey 1997; Sussman 2000).

	PYGMY MARMOSET
		Pygmy marmosets are from the Upper Amazon River, in the countries of Brazil, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia.
		Pygmy marmosets’ arms are shorter than their legs, and they have claws on all of their fingers and toes except their great toe, which has a flat nail.
		Pygmy marmosets become mature at 1 year to 1 1/2 years old when they are slowly pushed out of the group, mostly by the mother.

	Primates: Pygmy Marmoset - National Zoo\| FONZ
		Pygmy marmosets live into their early 20s in zoos; their life span in the wild is about 11 to 12 years.
		Pygmy marmosets are gumophores, which means that they gouge holes in trees and feed primarily on tree sap or gum.
		As an adaptation for gnawing, marmosets have long, forward turned, lower incisors that are the same length as their canines; this is the case in all marmosets and is termed the short-tusked condition.

	Pygmy Marmoset (Cebuella pygmaea)
		The pygmy marmoset is a gummivore-insectivore and occasionally eats fruit, buds, flowers, nectar, and vertebrates (Kinzey, 1997; Soini, 1988).
		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).

	Pygmy marmoset
		Pygmies feed principally on arthropods (especially grasshoppers) and the exudates (sap and gum) of certain trees and vines.
		The pygmy marmoset’s range is limited to the tropical lowland forest of the upper Amazon basin, from southern Columbia to eastern Ecuador, eastern Peru, western Brazil, and northern Bolivia.
		Pygmies are still common in the wild and, in fact, often colonize the edges of pastures, fields, and orchards, frequently in close proximity to human dwellings.
