Wied's Marmoset




'''Wied's Marmoset''' (''Callithrix (Callithrix) kuhlii''), also known as '''Wied's Black-tufted-ear Marmoset''', is a New World monkey that lives in tropical and subtropical forests of south western Brazil. Unlike other marmosets, the Wied's Marmoset lives in groups consisting of 4 or 5 females and 2 or 3 males (plus children). They are matriarchal, and only the dominant female is allowed to mate. Like other marmosets, the offspring are always born in pairs. Wied's Marmosets supplement their diet of sap with fruit, nectar, flowers and seeds, as well as spiders and insects. Since these are harvested from the middle and lower part of the forest, Wied's Marmosets often travel and forage in the company of Golden-headed Lion Tamarins, which forage in the canopy. Wied's Marmosets are eaten by birds of prey (Harpy Eagles, Gray Hawks, Roadside Hawks and White-tailed Hawks), felines (Jaguars, Jaguarundi and Ocelots) and snakes Wied's Marmosets are highly social, spending much of their time grooming. They have individually distinctive calls, and they communicate through gesture and olfactory marking as well. Wied's Marmosets are mostly black, with white markings on their cheeks and forehead. They have rings on their tails and black tufts of fur coming out of their ears. ===External link=== * http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Callithrix_kuhlii.html New World monkeys

kuhli or kuhlii? -User:KalevTait 18:30, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC) Also, Wied's or Weid's? -User:KalevTait 19:08, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC) Uther, where did you find the author? Also, Wied's Marmoset is still missing its status. -User:KalevTait 01:48, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC) :''C. (C.) kuhlii''. It was my typo originally on the marmoset page which you dilligently copied. *grins* However, I was correct with "Wied's". I use the IUCN site, http://www.redlist.org, has both the authority and the conservation status. I grabbed the authority but forgot to grab the status. Duh. :) Fixed. - User:UtherSRG 02:52, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
