On my first trip to Iquitos, my main target was the world’s smallest monkey, the pygmy marmoset. I got lots of images so wasn’t concentrating on them on this recent trip. That said, I did make a few visits to areas they’re known to frequent. They love to eat tree sap, which this guy was doing when he took a look around while licking his chops. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 3200, f/5.6 at 1/80th of a second.

Are you sure he wasn’t just sticking his tongue out at you?
Ok so this I can keep as a pet right?!!
Iquitos is a great place, but I prefer Taquitos.
PS – are you sure he wasn’t sticking his tongue out at you?
