Meet Our Geoffroy’s Marmoset!
Scientific Name: Callithrix geoffroyi
Status: Least Concern
Reasons Why: This marmoset is found in areas already protected for other animals in danger of extinction
Diet: I'm an omnivore! That means I eat fruits and small vertebraes.
Habitat: These marmosets prefer forests and forest edges in a very small part of Brazil in South America.
Fun Fact:
Geoffroy Marmoset's generally have twins or triplets!
Where am I From?
The Geoffroy's Marmoset is also known as the Tufted Ear Marmoset - be careful you don't confuse him with the Black-eared Tufted Marmoset!
