Fall in love with this little leaping South American monkey—and marvel at its wild hairdo.
Marvel at the amazing athletic abilities of the tiny-but-mighty cotton-top tamarin! Weighing just one pound (0.5 kilogram), this pint-sized primate can leap 15 feet (4.6 meters) from a stationary branch.
In the wild, cotton-top tamarins are found only in the tropical forests of northwestern Colombia in South America, where they live high in the treetops.

Here’s an inside look at the life of a cotton-top tamarin at Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park:
The Walt Disney Company is committed to saving wildlife and protecting the magic of nature together as a global community. The Disney Conservation Fund* supports nonprofit organizations working with communities living in and near cotton-top tamarin habitats in Colombia to raise species awareness, reduce unsustainable use of forest products and create alternative livelihood opportunities that benefit communities and tamarins.
