White-Fronted Marmoset

Marmosets are among the only monkeys that regularly give birth to twins. Male and female white-fronted marmosets (also known as Geoffrey’s marmosets) look similar, with white faces and black-brown fur and black ear tufts. Like other small primates, these marmosets are threatened by the illegal pet trade. You can help reduce demand — don’t share, like, or comment on social media posts where primates look like pets.
