Worlds Smallest Monkey

Photo by Froso Zoo

This little fella is part of the Baby Pygmy Marmoset family and is an albino.

Baby Pygmy Marmosets have a survival rate of only 67% for the first six months of their life.
As you can see they don’t grow very big and need constant attention so if you’re thinking of adopting one you might want to try having a baby first.

Every 2 hours they will need a regular feed of baby human food to get all the nutrients they need to survive.

This little guy looks like a cross between a monkey and a Sewer Rat.

This South American monkey is the world's smallest monkey tipping the scales at 3.5 ounces measuring 35 cm in length fully grown and his is the survivor of two born at Froso Zoo in Ostersund, Sweden.
