The pygmy marmoset, often called the “finger monkey,” is the smallest monkey in the world. It lives in the rainforests of the Amazon Basin in South America, where it spends most of its time high in the trees. These tiny primates are excellent climbers and move quickly through branches using their sharp claws and strong grip.
Their diet mainly includes insects, fruits, and tree sap. One of their unique abilities is using their sharp lower teeth to chew small holes in tree bark so sap can flow out. They then return to these holes to drink the sweet sap throughout the day.
Despite their tiny size, pygmy marmosets are very social animals and live in small family groups. An adult pygmy marmoset usually weighs around 100 grams (about 3.5 ounces), which makes it small enough to sit comfortably on a human finger.The pygmy marmoset, often called the “finger monkey,” is the smallest monkey in the world.
