The Cruz Lima saddleback tamarin[1] is a species of saddleback tamarin, a small monkey native to South America.
- Thick, dark fur covers this tiny New World Monkey‘s arms, shoulders, and torso.
- Mother Nature painted a patch of skin on its back by interweaving orange-red strands with blotches of black hair, creating a mottled pattern called “agouti“.
- Red-orange fur drapes the monkey’s hindquarters, and black fur adheres to its long tail that fans out toward the tip.
- Long, narrow hands, considered an adaptation, help the saddleback tamarin reach small crevices and insects catch.
