New World Monkeys
New World monkeys are limited to tropical forest environments of southern Mexico, Central, and South America. All of these monkeysare predominantly arboreal and mostly herbivorous. They eat leaves, fruits, nuts, gums, and occasional small prey such as insects. Today, there are at least 53 species commonly divided into two families--Cebidae and Callitricidae . Cotton-top tamarin Pygmy marmoset The Callitricidae consist of marmosets and tamarins . They range in weight from only 5 to 32 oz. (140-900 g.), but their thick fur and long tails deceptively make them look larger and heavier. The marmosets are the smallest of all monkey species. Both marmosets and tamarins are considered to be the most primitive monkeys because of their anatomical and reproductive characteristics. Their thumbs are not opposable. They have claws on all digits except for their big toes, which have nails. They do not have prehensile tails. They also lack the ability to change their facial expressions. Twin births are common. All other primate species usually give birth to only one child at a time. In addition, marmoset and tamarin infants are usually carried on their father's back and are generally only passed over to their mother for nursing. Apparently, marmosets are unable to maintain a very stable core body temperature. It can vary as much as 8.5º F. (4º C.) over a day. Fortunately for them, they live in warm forest environments that fluctuate little in temperature.
