birthday want.


These little monkeys are the smallest in the world. The body weight of adults in the wild averages only 4 ounces! They are about 5 inches (13cm) tall, not including the tail and they are able to jump more than 16 ft or 5 m! That's quite a distance.




Pygmy marmosets can be found in the wild in the upper Amazon basin in South America, they inhabit the rain forest in Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru and Brazil.


As new world monkeys they do not have opposable thumbs.


They are a popular exhibit in zoos and in captivity they can live for up to 11 years.



They are not good pets because they do bite and throw feces. um, i want one anyway.
