Monkey See, Monkey Wash

Cute Animal Alert: Pygmy Marmoset Monkey

Move over turtles and sloths, there’s a new cute animal in town.  It’s the Pygmy Marmoset, the tiniest monkey on the planet, ranging from 5.5 to 6.3 inches in height, and weighing only 4.2 to 4.9 ounces.

If you want one of these little dudes for your very own, here’s some info on how to care for them.  The site says “pet Pygmy Marmoset Monkeys are also known to throw feces, to attack, and to bite their owners”.  Amazing!  Just like real human brats, minus the exorbitant college tuition costs.

Check out this fascinating clip from the BBC show, “Weird Nature”.
