Oh tiny little, little smallest monkey. Here are some facts:
- An adult Pygmy Marmoset can fit into ONE human hand. A baby is about the size of a human thumb.
- Pygmy Marmosets are usually born in TWOs. And usually twins.
- Pygmy Marmosets weigh about THREE and a half ounces. They keep trim by chatting with each other all the time.
- There are FOUR types of jungle cats that love to eat Pygmy Marmosets: jaguarundi, ocelot, margay, and oncilla.
- Pygmy Marmoset’s gestation period is almost FIVE months.
- Pygmy Marmosets can’t spell the word SIX.
- Mommy Marmosets give birth every five to SEVEN months. The fathers help deliver babies and even give them piggyback rides while looking for dinner.
- Pygmy Marmosets can turn their heads one hundred and EIGHTy degrees. With this range of motion they can spot food (sap, insects, fruit, nuts, Cheetos).
- They live in groups of NINE members called a Troop. If this troop were in Beverly Hills, it would be called Troop Beverly Hills.
- Pygmy Marmosets are TEN-times cuter than a regular-sized marmoset.
