Take a tour of Unusual Facts About Pygmy Marmosets in Miami, United States - part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Say hello to the pygmy marmoset, the smallest monkey on the planet, weighing only about five ounces.
The marmoset's favorite kind of food is tree sap, which it digs out of branches.
Though this small primate's body is only about half a foot long at most, its tail is longer, up to nine inches long.
Pygmy marmosets live in small family groups which keeps them safe as they climb amonst the tree branches.
Because of their small size, many things prey upon marmosets, forcing the primates to move quickly and to stay vigilant.
