The Golden Lion Tamarin

WebMania! Tamarins are small monkeys that live in the canopy of the Amazon rain forest. They have sharp claws which allow them to quickly climb trees. Their diet includes fruit, flowers, lizards, and small animals. Lion tamarins have been brought to the brink of extinction because the Atlantic forests of southern Brazil are being destroyed at a rapid rate, and the tamarins are unable to flee because they can't cross large rivers.
