[bignosebaby]

Is the lovely Goeldi's monkey a tamarin or a marmoset? Neither!

Tamarins average 17 inches in length, live in groups of up to 40 individuals, and have long canines for eating insects and fruits.

Marmosets max out at around 15 inches, live in smaller groups of up to 15 individuals, and have large pointy incisors for chewing through tree bark.

Goeldi's monkeys are the only members of the genus callimico, and they set themselves apart in a few ways:

Their diets are seasonal, and at the right time of year they rely heavily on mushrooms as a food source.

They only have one baby at a time, where tamarins and marmosets have twins or ocassionally triplets.

They have 3 molars where tamarins and marmosets have 2.

Callimico fathers are not as involved in child rearing as tamarins and marmosets.

They have the largest range, living in southern Colombia, eastern Ecuador and Peru, western Brazil and northern Bolivia.

These unique creatures are a true treat!

Goeldi’s marmoset (Callimico goeldii)

If I told you that a primate only gave birth to one offspring at a time, you probably wouldn’t think anything of it- but these are marmosets, and the Goeldi’s marmoset is the only species that never gives birth to twins. They are omnivores, but in the dry season they come to rely on an unusual source of food- fungus!

Round 1, part 1, match 9: marmosets

Wied’s marmoset (Callithrix kuhlii)

This little monkey is found in tropical Brazilian forests, with an omnivorous diet mostly composed of tree sap. But marmosets are weirder than they seem on the surface. This group of small monkeys usually give birth to non-identical twins, and these twins will often swap cells while in the womb. So many marmosets are chimeras, made of more than one genetic code! Even weirder is that these swapped cells can sometimes be gametes; sperm or egg cells. So, a chimeric marmoset can give birth to a child using an egg that came from her twin!

Goeldi’s marmoset (Callimico goeldii)

If I told you that a primate only gave birth to one offspring at a time, you probably wouldn’t think anything of it- but these are marmosets, and the Goeldi’s marmoset is the only species that never gives birth to twins. They are omnivores, but in the dry season they come to rely on an unusual source of food- fungus!
