|Geographical Range||Northwestern South America| |Scientific
Name||Callimico goeldii| |Conservation Status||Near threatened|
These monkeys live in the thick undergrowth of the South
American rainforests. They spend their days searching the trees
for fruit and insects, but also come to the ground for food.
They live in small groups of two to eight animals, which may
include more than one breeding female. Did You Know? Unlike the
related marmosets and tamarins, Goeldi's monkeys give birth to
single babies rather than twins. Males and siblings help with
childcare.
