Black Tufted Marmoset

Scientific name: Callithrix penicillata

Marmosets have long, furred, non-prehensile tails and most species have tufts of fur on their heads. Most primates have flat nails on their fingers and toes, but marmosets and tamarins have sharp, down-turning claws, except for on their big toes. These claws help them cling to bark as they climb around in trees!
