Golden lion tamarin
The golden lion tamarin (''Leontopithecus rosalia'', (ポルトガル語:mico-leão-dourado) ) also known as the golden marmoset, is a small New World monkey of the family Callitrichidae. Native to the Atlantic coastal forests of Brazil, the golden lion tamarin is an endangered species with an estimated wild population of about 3,200 individuals spread between four places along southeastern Brazil, and a captive population maintained at about 490 individuals among 150 zoos.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://nationalzoo.si.edu/SCBI/EndangeredSpecies/GLTProgram/InWild/CurrentStatus.cfm )〕〔http://www.savetheliontamarin.org/news/2014/10/8/press-release-new-census-of-wild-glt-population.html#entry35052376〕
== Physical characteristics ==
The golden lion tamarin gets its name from its bright reddish orange pelage and the extra long hairs around the face and ears which give it a distinctive mane.〔Rowe N. (1996) ''The pictorial guide to the living primates''. East Hampton (NY): Pogonias Pr.〕 Its face is dark and hairless. It is believed that the tamarin gets its hair color from sunlight and carotenoids in its food.〔Kleiman DG, Hoage RJ, Green KM. (1988) "The lion tamarins, Genus ''Leontopithecus''". In: Mittermeier RA, Coimbra-Filho AF, da Fonseca GAB, editors. ''Ecology and behavior of neotropical primates'', Volume 2. Washington DC: World Wildl Fund. p 299-347.〕 The golden lion tamarin is the largest of the callitrichines. It is typically around and weighs around . There is almost no size difference between males and females. As with all New World monkeys, the golden lion tamarin has tegulae, which are claw-like nails, instead of ungulae or flat nails found in all other primates, including humans. Tegulae enable tamarins to cling to the sides of tree trunks. It may also move quadrupedally along the small branches, whether through walking, running, leaping or bounding.〔Sussman RW. (2000) ''Primate ecology and social structure. Volume 2, New world monkeys''. Needham Heights (MA): Pearson Custom.〕 This gives it a locomotion more similar to squirrels than primates.
