This is an orange-colored primate from the Atlantic Forest in Brazil Unfortunately these monkeys bottomed out in the 1970s, and less than 200 could be found in the wild. Then the Brazilian government and the World Wildlife Federation, along with public charities and zoos around the world, held out a helping hand to them. These orange darlings are called tamarins, and many can now be found in zoos. There are about 1700 golden lion tamarins. In Brazil they even appear on a Brazilian banknote. See this tamarin dad

This one is really small and it's cute, I like it, even if I am not a big fan of apes and monkeys.

Are they not endangered species? Their color is very attractive.

@Nakitakona they are quite endangered so hopefully in time they might multiply again

Thank you for the info. I never thought there is an orange monkey, I always saw the black and brown one.

That's great that the golden tamarin has been brought back from the edge of extinction.
