Here’s a few photos of your favorite monkey from the Amazon. These little dwarfs or pygmies must drink lots of fresh espresso in their native Brazil/Peru because they are very alert, bouncing around on the trees, looking around, chirping and running. Apparently they don’t like people very much. A lot of zoos have a few of these pygmies also known as “little lions” or “pocket monkeys” (I would add “finger puppet monkeys”). They can live 10-12 years in captivity.
