Tamarins are omnivores, eating fruits and other plant parts as well as spiders, insects, small vertebrates and bird eggs.

Wildlife orphan babies are such emissaries. This looks quite lovable, and I'll bet all who meet it are inspired to protect the species.
Congratulations!
Congratulations! I sincerely hope that the forests world-over are conserved so all animal life could survive. Thanks for sharing!
@AmazonWorkshops..
Please add this spotting to Global Primates Mission...
Lovely spotting and right honor for such threatened specie. This spotting must increase love for this Primate and raise conservation of their habitats.
awww cute little thing
wow congrats!
On day 3 of Amazon Awareness Week, the team came across an abandoned Saddleback Tamarin that had been adopted by local Yagua villagers near Iquitos, Peru. Help spread the word about Amazon conservation so when this baby grows up, there will be plenty of rainforest to play in!
"Tamarins are squirrel-sized monkeys found in tropical rainforests. They are great climbers and active during the day, when they can be found running and jumping through trees."
