The Emilian marmoset[1], also called the Snethlage’s marmoset, is a marmoset native to Brazil.
- It is only found in the Brazilian states of Mato Grosso and Pará. Emilia’s marmoset is a mostly white-haired primate with a gray back. Often, their posture gives the impression of a hunchback.
- Their pink faces and snouts are covered in light-colored hair, and they have large brown eyes. Their pointy ears are incredibly recognizable, as they sometimes stick out of their fur.
- These marmosets are small monkeys adapted to climbing logs and climbing thin branches. Marmosets have claws on all fingers and toes except for the big toes.
- These claws are mainly used for climbing. Marmosets have much longer tails than the rest of their bodies.
- Although these tails are not prehensile, they can be used for balance when crossing trees.
