[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a Golden-Handed Tamarin at Twycross zoo.

The Golden-Handed Tamarin is one of the smallest monkeys in the world and may be found all over South America especially in Brazil , French Guiana , Suriname and Peru.

There are about fourteen species of Tamarins and about ten of these are endangered, but according to research, there are only about 3,000 left of those that are not endangered.

Tamarins are characterised by their long limbs and tail for climbing, their specially designed teeth for extracting gum from trees, long hands and fingers for foraging in holes, and their two middle fingers which are webbed to help them grasp on to trees after long leaps.

You should have kept this for the "Fingers or Toes" theme tomorrow!!
Are they real? I've never seen this before. How bright the colour is - TFS

Hi Martyn,
Its posture and expression are making this shot even more interesting. I agree with Janice, my friend. This can be a very nice contribution for the theme.
Regards,
Ramdan.

HI Martin
First time I see this animal with the golden gloves.
A very cute little fellow, you captured him well, the reflection in the eye is perfect, he has that look of what's up doc.
Good shot
