Small enough to fit in a shirt pocket and too cute for words! Resemble gizmo a little from gremlins!

That's not my shirt pocket, it's the ranger's pocket! It's on an island called 'la isla de los micos' (monkey island) in colombia. Many monkeys have been moved to the island to preserve their populations from the perils of the mainland. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the specific breed of monkey of these little ones.
those people on that other web site are probably nuts. seems like they're jumping to conclusions. anyway, good on ya! :)
ps. Gremlins for life yo.
Craig, congratulations again! Your little marmosets have been featured by Animal Planet! http://blogs.discovery.com/animal-planet...
You are so lucky - not just being able to see these things but to have them in your pocket ! :) very cute - I hope they are thriving and having a good life. Congratulations, Craig !
Love these little Marmosets! Congrats on spotting of the day, Craig!
"How adorable are these two little Pygmy Marmosets? Did you know that they are the world's smallest monkey? They are small enough to fit in a shirt pocket!"

When I first saw the picture I thought it was Gizmo from Gremlins. Looks like a toy, so awesome!
