  Cotton-top tamarin

  It has white, cotton-like fur on its head, making it look as if it’s wearing a fur hat. That’s why it’s called the “Cotton-headed.” It is very small, measuring 17 cm in body length, 25 cm in tail length, and weighing an average of 430 g. However, its call sounds similar to a bird’s song and is said to be audible from as far as 200 meters away. Even when fighting, they face each other and continuously emit their calls.
