Geoffroy's tamarin

Geoffroy's tamarin (Saguinus geoffroyi) is a species of tamarin, one of the New World monkeys, found in Panama and Colombia. It is predominantly black and white, with a reddish nape. Diurnal, the species spends most of its time in trees, but comes down to the ground occasionally. It lives in groups that most often number between three and five individuals, and generally include one or more adults of each sex. It eats a variety of foods, including insects, exudates, fruits and other plant parts. Insects and fruits account for the majority of its diet, but exudates are also important. Since its teeth are not adapted for gouging trees to get to the sap, it can only eat exudates when they are easily available. This Geoffroy's tamarin was photographed at Gatun Lake, Panama.
