Discover the tiny wonders of the Amazon Rainforest with the Pygmy Marmoset (Cebuella pygmaea). This diminutive primate, featured in Buffon's "Histoire Naturelle des Mammiferes," is a native of Central America and the Amazon Basin. With their agile movements and distinctive vocalizations, these social creatures are a delight to observe in their natural habitat, such as the Napo River bordering Yasuni National Park. Yet, they can also be found in captivity, as seen in various zoos and research centers, including Krefeld, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Despite their small size, Pygmy Marmosets play a significant role in their ecosystem, contributing to seed dispersal and insect control. Marvel at their charm and resilience in both their wild and captive environments.
