Geoffroys Tamarin | A Geoffroy’s tamarin can jump up to 16 feet from one treetop to another.

Geoffroy’s tamarins are omnivores eating tree sap, insects, fruits, and various plants. They are active during the day and spend most of their time up in trees. These are social animals living in groups of 3 to 5 monkeys. They communicate with one another using whistles, high-pitched chattering, rasps, and even sneezes. These animals can live up to 13 years in the wild.
A Geoffroy’s tamarin has a coat of black and tan fur on its back along with a red section of fur at the back of its neck and shoulders. This section of fur is what earned it the names red-crested and rufous-naped tamarin. Its tail is black with light tan rings, and its chest and front legs are white. The Geoffroy’s tamarin has black fur on its face and a thick stripe of white hair that stands up on its head. Some people say it has a white mohawk haircut. This creature has small, black ears and dark, curious eyes.

The size of an adult Geoffroy’s tamarin ranges from 8.5 to 11 inches long. It can have a tail measuring from 12 to 16.5 inches long. Male Geoffroy’s tamarins weigh about 1 pound while females weigh 1.1 pounds. If you held two hamsters in your palm, they would be equal in weight to a 1-pound Geoffroy’s tamarin.
