Marmoset

Marmosets are small, South American monkeys

that live high up in the canopies of the rainforests. ​Reaching an average height of 16-19 cm and weighing ​in between only 230-260 g, these lightweight monkeys ​are seen as being relatively primitive in relation to ​other monkeys, as they still have claws instead of nails, ​except for on their big toe


This species is made up of 22 different types, but the ​most likely to be kept as pets are the common ​marmoset (White-eared marmoset) and black-tufted ​(eared) marmoset.

The Tufts of hair around the ears - either white ​or black, respectively, are one of the marmoset's ​main characteristics.


Their bodies are usually multi colored in grays, ​browns, blacks, and off-whites, sprinkled in ​patterns. The marmosets' tails are banded, and ​their faces are black across their nose skin area ​and a white patch

of fur on the forehead.


Infants display a lot more tones of grey and ​golden brown, and their ear-tufts only grow out ​as they develop.

Marmosets tend to stay in treetops and behave a lot ​like squirrels, rarely venturing onto the ground. Their ​tails are usually even longer than their bodies. Unlike ​other monkeys like capuchins and squirrel monkeys, ​they cannot use their tails to grasp onto things, but use ​them as a balance while they leap through the treetops.


Marmosets are day-active monkeys and are social ​animals, usually living in troops of 4-15 relatives and ​are very territorial. As they are omnivores, they eat a ​variety of foods including insects, fruits, small ​amphibians, reptiles, and eggs. These monogamous ​monkeys can live up to 16 years in the wild.Unusually ​for primates, marmosets will normally give birth to non-​identical twins.


The gestation period is 4 months, and ​they can breed up to twice a year. The ​youngsters in the troupe will share in the ​responsibility of caring for the young, ​with the male marmosets often being the ​main caregivers.



When younger marmosets want to ​breed, they will usually leave the troupe, ​as being around a monogamous pair will ​prevent the youngster from sexually ​maturing.
