Did you know:
…They are also known as the Golden Marmoset.
…They have a bright, golden-reddish pelage all over their bodies, with longer hair around the face and ears, giving it the impression of a mane.
…Golden Lion Tamarins walk along small branches using all four feet, making them appear more like Squirrels with the way they leap and bound between the trees.
