About the Golden Lion Tamarin:

The Golden Lion Tamarin is about 1 foot full grown, and lives in Southeastern Brazil.  It is moist and warm there.

Endangered:

Since 1972, the Golden Lion Tamarin has been endangered. There are two reasons why they are endangered. One is because we are destroying their homes, the tree tops. Two is because they kill each other to protect their young. With us killing the Golden Lion Tamarin it has almost disappeared.
