Animal of the Day!
Silvery Marmoset (Mico argentatus)
Tumblr media
(Photo from New England Primate Conservancy)
Conservation Status- Least Concern
Habitat- Amazon River Basin
Size (Weight/Length)- 400 g; 25 cm
Diet- Sap; Insects; Fruit; Flowers; Amphibians
Cool Facts- The silvery marmoset is walking the fine line of adorable and cursed. Their fur is a brilliant white color, helping them to blend in with their jungle home. When light is reflected off leaves, it turns green and results in the tiny money appearing green. Their long, dark tail helps them to balance on tree branches rather than be prehensile. Silvery marmosets are masters of the deadpan. By lowering their brows and piercing their lips at intruders of their territory, silvery marmosets are able to drive off competitors through sheer ‘I’m done with this’ energy. Of course, if staring doesn’t work, screaming will. The marmosets can get into yelling competitions for prize patches of fruit trees.
Rating- 12/10 (Babies are almost always born as twins.)

Any thoughts on casual geographic? The ‘nature is so disrespectful’ guy. His vids are fun to watch and i certainly dont go into them looking for education due to their comedy-focused nature, but it’d be cool to be aware if his videos ultimately are better or worse to view, like, and share. asking here because i believe he’s done videos on primates? All animals are fair game with him, so.
I actually really like him!
You're right to mention that tiktok should almost never be your destination for research or education. His videos are funny, informed, and bring to light many species who have been largely underappreciated like geladas and silver marmosets. I appreciate his content and haven't seen any red flags yet!
Here you can find more information about the marmoset in question.

Introducing The Gorilla Troop From The Krefeld Zoo In Germany (more info in the description) by SloggerVlogger Meet the Gorillas from the Krefeld Zoo in Germany! A new troop to the channel. Putting a name to their faces in this introduction video. The new Thursday series. There will be another four videos and then another Gorilla troop that I haven't filmed will follow this series. The troop of seven gorillas live in the area called the Gorilla Garden. Meet Silverback Gorilla Kidogo, Gorilla Oya, Muna and son Santu. Gorilla Miliki and sons Pepe, Bobóto. Kidogo was born on November 15th 2000 at the Givskud Zoo in Denmark. Gorilla Oya was born on June 9th 1988 at the Zoo Zürich Switzerland. Gorilla Muna was born on March 6th 1989 at the Zoo Basel Switzerland. Her son Santu was born on July 14th 2021. Miliki was born on February 20th 2006 at La Vallée des Singes in France. Her son Pepe was born on May 6th 2015 and Bobóto on December 21st 2018. Both were born at Krefeld Zoo in Germany. @feliciacraite Guessed correctly on my community page who the Silverback is. 😁 Filmed through a tire, little Satu is watching Dad Kidogo. Mother Muna is coming up right behind Dad and after her son glances up at her, she picks him up and they have some lunch. Gorilla Oya is next up, the first thing you notice is her stiff finger. Quite a common injury in Gorillas it seems. Kera in Bristol and the little Aaarde at Chessington Zoo have the same injuries. Oya enjoys the bark of a stick and later a German turnip (Kohlrabi). Miliki has her food stuck in her teeth and she's trying to get it out. Pepe is munching on his food. He kind of reminds me a bit of a younger Lope. Last but not least Gorilla youngster Bobóto. As it was just a brief visit I didn't get the chance to film too much of the troop. When I was there, the outside had been shut off and they were building the new outdoor habitat for the great apes. I was a bit too early as they are planning to open the new habitat on Gorilla Day on the 24th of September 2023. You can have a quick look at the outside on my other channel, the travel channel in a hyper-lapse walkthrough of the zoo at: https://youtu.be/SVG-9jLGDkE #KrefeldZoo #Gorillas #Introduction You might have heard about the Krefeld Zoo in the news when they had the awful tragedy on New Year's Eve, December 31, 2019. A fire broke out due to Chinese lanterns and 30 animals lost their lives including Gorillas, Chimpanzees, Orangutans, silvery marmosets, white-faced sakis endangered golden-lion tamarins, fruit bats, reptiles and birds. A horrendously sad day that many of us never forget. The firefighters managed to prevent the flames from spreading from the ape house to the Gorilla garden. This is where Silverback Kidogo had his troop of seven are housed. Tambo (Muna's first son) moved in September 2020 to Zoo Safari de Thoiry. via YouTube https://youtu.be/JkoPGrBXpJo

Silvery marmoset (Mico argentatus)
The silvery marmoset is a New World monkey that lives in the eastern Amazon Rainforest in Brazil. They reach a size of 18 to 28 cm. Silvery marmosets are diurnal and arboreal, using their claws to climb trees. Originally rain forest inhabitants, plantations have caused them to expand their range. They spend the night in tree hollows or in very close vegetation. They live together in small groups and mark their territory with scent glands, driving out intruders by shouting or by facial expressions (lowered brows and guarded lips). The diet of the silvery marmosets predominantly consists of tree sap. To a lesser extent, they also eat bird eggs, fruit, insects, and small vertebrates.

Someone in the comments said this was a Silvery Marmoset, but it looks like it's missing a lot of it's fur. Is that natural or could it be caused by a specific mistreatment. (https://twitter.com/wormkingdom/status/1501658357072949258?t=Ckdy-aGP8Oe0j14GrFwD3Q&s=19)

Okay, so hair loss is very common in elderly primates especially on their head and their extremities. It's also common when their husbandry is poor. Hair loss in a young animal could indicate poor diet, lack of sunshine, stress, disease, or other health conditions.
The above link includes some research showing the quality of the facility that posted the video and it is concerning. In general, any primates in a bird cage will be a major red flag unless the facility is transparent and explains the smaller accomodations are due to quarantine, transport, etc.

YT link, and lyrics:
A story of the interesting little people whom we meet in the newsreel theaters of the world. (singing) I meet the furious, curious, penurious people of the day and in their funny way ha ha I find them very gay. I learn the history, mystery, blistery tales of love and hate, of the very small and the very great - wait! (speaking) Flood Time in the South Once again the mighty Mississippi overflows her banks and runs thru the once arid city of Flukesville, Alabama. We hear of the disaster from one of the survivors Miss Lucy Debussey. Miss Debussey: "I was giving a music lesson in the home of a Mrs. Wesson when the flood began the family ran but I was true to my Chopin. The people left and took to boats while I was playing my silvery notes and then the piano floated away and I was left without no pay. I held my music in my mouth and swam upstream away from that South. I met my folks in Cincinnati, but they turned their backs because I looked so ratty, that's my family for you.” A Famous Hollywood Masseuse Gives Business Hints This brave tailored little woman reveals all, "I started in a salad shop and beat my way right to the top but I found more money in Miss Garbo's legs than I did in whipping up four dozen of eggs. They stood up for me in that Western town cause I whapped so hard they could not sit down. If you want to make money, my advice to you is to save your paddle and sell your canoe. After working for forty years, Mrs. Daisy Wiggle has finally completed a doll house made completely from human hair. This tiny elfin little dwelling contains one hair from every nation and notable in the world. Mrs. Wiggle: "Pulling hairs is lots of fun, you really ought to try it. * strained chuckle * From kings and queens and everyone I've snitched hairs on the quiet. They never miss a strand or so don't even know they're gone and if they turn around you know, I merely scamper on. I've lovely hairs from horses' tails from apes and marmosets I've elephant hairs as tough as nails and lots of graaand egrets, uh-huh! of course I never did believe a bit of this work could make me rich, you silly, but I'll take it apart some day and weave myself a beauuutiful switch, ah ha ha ha. The citizens of Umlaut, Arizona were amazed today to find Mrs. Gazpo, a resident fortunately not from the town proper, walking in the streets completely nude. Mrs. Gazpo claimed that she'd been attacked by a swarm of locusts and refused to be ashamed of her lack of clothing. Mrs. Gazpo: "I was riding leisure like to town when a swarm of locusts settled down on me and Maybrie, that's my horse, and they bit and chawed with all their force. They ate poor Maybie cleeean away. Ate meh clothes and my hair turned gray Now here I am like I was born, and them rascals yellin’, ‘September Mourn’ It ain't September, them sassy little brats ought to give me their coats and a tip up their hats. I’m a church goin’ woman and I ain’t worried I’m gonna buy a new horse and I won’t be hurried. I may get a dress if my money holds out. Boys, look at me and learn what it's about." 
✍︎︎ Notes: “September Morn” is a painting from Paul Chabas from 1912, famous for its indecency scandal in the US, it became popular for many years. “Miss Garbo” refers to Greta Garbo, a bisexual actress. The Hollywood Masseuse character is a butch woman, noted with how Bruz had to deepen his voice to play as the character.
