The Golden Lion Tamarin is a beautiful little creature that is found in the rain forests of Brazil. They are striking to look at, with their reddish-gold fur and long, fluffy tails.

Golden Lion Tamarins are very small monkeys, weighing in at just around two pounds. Despite their small size, they are incredibly agile and can leap through the trees with ease. They live in groups of up to twelve individuals, and use their sharp intelligence to survive in the wild.

The Golden Lion Tamarin's natural habitat is the rainforest, where they make their home in the trees. They eat a variety of fruits, insects, and other small animals. They are also known to be quite playful, and often engage in games of chase and catch.

These delightful little monkeys are in danger of extinction, but thanks to conservation efforts, their population is slowly beginning to rebound.
