Marmosets are a Family of New World monkeys, occupying the upper canopy of the forest. This fellow is a Common Marmoset. He follows a largely vegetarian diet, supplemented with insects and other invertebrates. He lives in a family group, with one or two breeding females and their offspring, extended family members and unrelated individuals. Twins are often born, occasionally triplets. All the adults play an active role in carrying the youngsters, and display co-operative behaviour, such as sharing food.
