Of the three types of tamarins, the cotton-top marmoset can be distinguished by its bare face. It is on average 9 inches tall and is covered with red, brown, gray and white hair over most of its body. The tamarin has claw-like nails that aid it in clinging, running and leaping. Tamarins are social creatures that are very vocal within their like-species groups that they live closely around.

PROGNOSIS

Prognosis for recovery

  • Tamarins are expected to thrive within the currently controlled preservation parks in Columbia, but continue to decline in the wild.

  • We were unable to find any further expected outcomes for the species.

  • An increase of research would most likely improve the prospects for the cotton-top marmosets.
