With the Olympics in full swing down in Rio, I figured this would be a good time to pull a few shots from my Brazil folder. This is a white tufted ear marmoset — one of two different species of marmoset that I was able to photograph while in Brazil. Unlike most other monkeys, marmosets have claws rather than nails. They also tend to be rather small, as you can see from this little guy that I spotted in Piaui State in the northern part of the country.

Yes, I agree Michael. They aren’t quite like other monkeys, but they are primates and not marsupials.

Yes, very small. About the size of a squirrel.

I love these little guys!!
They have such interesting looking faces. Great perspective on it’s size with the tree trunk.
Thanks Rachel. Always a hard thing to get size perspective without adding an unnatural element. Who knows how big a tree or leaf might be.
