Cotton-top tamarin — size comparison — facts and sources

The cotton-top tamarin occurs in northwestern Colombia. It lives in forests and their edges, moving along trunks and branches using claw-like nails.

It eats fruit, nectar, plant exudates and small animals, including insects and spiders. It seeks prey in middle and lower canopy layers. Contact calls help group members stay together.

Many family members care for young. While resting, individuals may drape the long tail over a shoulder and back. It is not a prehensile extra limb.
